Northwestern wrestler Lucas Davison (Chesterton, Ind./Wildcat WC/Chicago RTC) has a North American opponent in his first bout at 92 kg/202 lbs., as he battles Julien Choquette of Canada, who was fourth in the 2019 Pan American Junior Championships.
Mason Parris (Lawrenceburg, Ind./Cliff Keen WC), who was an NCAA qualifier for Michigan this season as a true freshman, has Vasil Khvistani of Georgia, in his first match, a 2019 European Junior Championships bronze medalist.
These athletes will do battle on Tuesday morning at 10:30 a.m. in Tallinn, which is seven hours ahead of the U.S. Eastern time zone. There will also be a repechage round for the athletes in the first five weight classes. All of the action is broadcast live in the United States on Trackwrestling.
