Friday kicked off what's expected to be a busy wrestling weekend.
In Stillwater, Oklahoma, Gallagher-Iba Arena hosted Final X, the last step of USA Wrestling's Senior world team trials process. A thousand miles away in Ohio, USA Wrestling is also hosting its U20 world team trials and U23 national championships, a three-day competition featuring many of the nation's best up-and-coming wrestlers.
The results were strong:
Thomas Gilman, a former Iowa wrestler, and Ben Provisor, a current Grand View wrestler, both made USA Wrestling's Senior world team — Gilman in men's freestyle, Provisor in Greco-Roman.
