FORT BLISS, Texas – The 2026 Armed Forces Championships concluded on Sunday afternoon with Army taking the men’s freestyle title thanks to a trio of wins over Marines, Navy and Air Force, backing up its Greco-Roman title from yesterday at Fort Bliss.

Army outpaced all three of its opponents with apparent ease—35-11 over Marines, 33-11 over Air Force, and 39-5 over Navy—all while giving up an automatic five team points at 92 kg in each dual by forfeit.

The story of the day came at 65 kg with two-time Greco-Roman Olympian SFC Spenser Mango (2008, 2012) lacing ‘em up for the first time in a decade—the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team Trials to be specific. Mango, who is the current coach of the U.S. Army WCAP program, went 3-0 with a 10-second pin and a pair of 10-0 technical falls.

Army had seven others join Mango as individual gold medalists—SGT William Sullivan at 57 kg, SGT Dalton Roberts at 61 kg, SGT Alejandro Sancho at 70 kg, SGT Justus Scott at 74 kg, SGT Britton Holmes at 79 kg, SPC Kamal Bey at 86 kg and 1LT Michail Foy at 97 kg. Sancho (2020) and Bey (2024) were Olympians for Team USA in Greco-Roman. Roberts and Foy have previously represented the U.S. in Greco-Roman at the Senior World Championships.

Navy and Air Force each had an individual gold medalist join the ranks—LTJG Paul Detwiler of Navy at 92 kg and 2^nd Lt Wyatt Hendrickson of Air Force at 125 kg. Hendrickson was the Senior World Team representative for the U.S. at heavyweight last year and was a 2023 U23 World champion.

Following Army in the team standings were Marines, who went 2-1, in second place. Navy reeled in third place with a 32-14 win over fourth-place Air Force.
