Brady Koontz Wins U23 Greco-Roman World Team Spot, Besting Indiana's Liam Cronin in Best-of-Three Series

Ohio State is known for, in addition to having an elite collegiate wrestling program, for being home to world-class freestyle talent the likes of Kyle Snyder and Logan Stieber. Fans may not realize that the program is also home to some world-class Greco-Roman talent, too.

Brady Koontz might change that, as the redshirt sophomore secured a spot on his third age-level world team Thursday, besting Indiana's Liam Cronin in a best-of-three series at the U.S. Marine Corps Junior Nationals in Fargo, securing the 55kg position on the U23 World Greco-Roman Team.

Koontz was a member of the 2015 Cadet World Team and wrestled last fall at the Junior World Championships.
