At the Senior US Open with a spot at Final X on the line, Nebraska had a number of placers with Tyler Berger punching his ticket to Final X in search of a World Team spot at 70kg.
Out of the 12 current and former Huskers that competed at the Senior level, nine of them placed in the Top-8. So now with Berger advancing to Final X, Nebraska currently has two participants in Berger and Jordan Burroughs at 79kg. With another spot still up for grabs at 92kg and 125kg because there’s no returning World medalist at those weights, next month’s World Team Trials will decide the other Final X participant — so guys like Eric Schultz, Silas Allred and Christian Lance still have one more shot at earning that spot.
