Late in May, both Peyton Robb and Mikey Labriola won U23 Freestyle National Championships and were set to represent Team USA in Belgrade, Serbia this weekend at the Senior U23 World Championships.
Those plans have changed, as Labriola was pulled from the lineup late and replaced by Princeton’s Jake Marsh. Marsh finished eighth at the 2021 U23 Nationals that Labriola won. My only guess would be that Marsh was a training partner along for the trip and is being forced into action at the latest possible time.
I hope there’s nothing serious keeping him out of action this weekend, but with Labriola slated as possibly Nebraska’s best wrestler entering the season, this doesn’t look good for Nebraska.
