World silver medalist Jake Herbert headlines a talented list of U.S. freestyle wrestlers who are expected to battle a team from World powerhouse Russia in New York City.
The U.S. will battle Russia on Friday, Nov. 20 in the Grand Ballroom of the New York Athletic Club. The event will be held prior to the New York AC International Open on Nov. 22.
New York AC Chairman Noel Thompson said the event will be held on an elevated mat with a red carpet rolled out at the entrance.

The dual is scheduled to start at 8:30 p.m.
