CONCORD, Calif. – A strong Junior team from Hungary won the team title in an eight-team international field at the 2015 Junior Greco-Roman World Duals this weekend.


Hungary went a perfect 7-0 in dual meets to claim the team title, including a 41-8 win over the runner-up team from Scandinavia. Placing third was the Viking team from Sweden.


The top American team was a U.S. All-Star team, which finished fourth, followed by American teams from Oregon (fifth), CYC (sixth), Roseburg, Ore. (seventh) and California (eighth).


The two Outstanding Wrestler awards went to American wrestlers.:Layne VanAnrooy from the Roseburg team at 154 lbs/70 kg and G’Angelo “Tracy” Hancock of the USA team at 217 lbs/98.5 kg. Earlier this month, Hancock won the UWW Junior Nationals in Las Vegas, and earned a spot on the U.S. Junior World Team.
