Manville captured a silver medal for the United States at the Youth Olympic Games on Monday in Nanjing, China.

Manville went undefeated in pool play, earning convincing victories over Jordan Marshall of New Zealand (8-0), Nilton Soto of Peru (8-0), and Karan Mosebach of Germany (7-3) to secure a spot in the gold-medal match against reigning FILA Cadet World bronze medalist Islambek Dadov of Azerbaijan.
