Richie Lewis is bringing gold back to the Scarlet Knights.
Wrestling in the 70-kilogram freestyle weight class, the Rutgers star captured a gold medal Sunday at the Under-23 World Championships in Poland. He defeated Kumar Vinod of India, 3-1, with a final-period takedown and a point off of a step out against Vinod to capture the title.
"It's a great feeling," Lewis told ScarletKnights.com. "I'm just grateful more than anything. All glory to God. It was a tight (match). He engaged me with the under hook, but I wasn't doing anything with it.
