Four current Cowboy wrestlers and one commit competed at the Junior World Team Trials at the Spire Institute in Geneva, Ohio.
One of the top performances of the tournament came from soon-to-be Cowboy Brayden Thompson. Thompson, a Junior from Lockport, Illinois won a deep bracket at 79 KG that included a former world medalist.
Thompson opened with a 7-0 shutout in the quarterfinals over Aaron Ayzerov. In the semifinals, he held off a late charge from Rocco Welsh. Thompson was up on criteria with the match tied at 4 and got a last-second takedown to win 6-4.
