Little Rock Wrestling continues to make waves thanks to junior Brennan Van Hoecke bringing home a bronze medal Wednesday after reaching the podium at the 2025 Junior Pan American Games in Asuncion, Paraguay.
The Fort Myers, Fla. native needed just 21 seconds to pin his opponent from Brazil in the bronze medal match after wrestling to an 11-11 draw in the opening round of the 67 kg Greco-Roman bracket, a match Van Hoecke would ultimately lose on criteria. With his opening round opponent advancing to the final round, that allowed Van Hoecke to claim a spot in the bronze medal match.
