USA Wrestling will send a men’s Junior Greco-Roman team to Gotzis, Austria to compete in the sixth annual Austrian Junior Open followed by a five-day international training camp.
The tournament will take place on Saturday, Feb. 27 in the Sports Hall at St. Ulrichstra Middle School.
The 16 members of Team USA will take part in a double-elimination tournament, guaranteeing each wrestler at least two matches. The team will participate in joint-training sessions with nine other countries, including Austria, Croatia, Denmark, France, Italy, Kazakhstan, Slovakia, Israel and Switzerland.
Notable members making the trip to Austria include 2015 UWW Junior World Team members Dalton Roberts (Fowlerville, Mich./NMU-OTS) and G’Angelo Hancock (Colorado Springs, Colo./USOTC) along with Cadet World Team member Cohlton Schultz (Highlands Ranch, Colo./Ponderosa High School). Also joining Team USA will be 2014 Junior Triple Crown winner Randon Miranda (Palmdale, Calif./Team California).
Coaching the Junior Greco-Roman squad will be Northern Michigan University USOTS head coach Rob Hermann, who is a past Olympic coach.
"This is a great opportunity to wrestle in this caliber of tournament against their own age group,” Hermann said. “The five day camp will further their Greco skills and prepare them for Junior Nationals and World Team Trials in April.”
