Overall the United States finished second in the overall medal count with 12 medals (three gold, two silver and seven bronze) and fourth in the official combined standings with 125 points. All three American champions at the event came from USA’s men’s freestyle team, which included Kurt McHenry (42 kg/92.5 lbs.) and two-time Cadet World champs Yianni Diakomihalis (63 kg/138.75 lbs.) and Gable Steveson (100 kg/220 lbs.).
