IOWA CITY, Iowa – Four-time United States World Team member Brent Metcalf was bounced from the 2016 United States Olympic Wrestling Team Trials after consecutive losses Saturday at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
Metcalf, who entered the tournament as the top seed at 65 kg, was denied a spot on the U.S. Olympic team with a 3-3 criteria loss to Frank Molinaro in his opening match. Metcalf scored on a pushout and a pair of passivity points, but Molinaro scored on a pushout and came out of a flurry with a two-point that proved the difference in criteria.
