Huge indeed! And he gets to France by beating the wrestler that defeated him in the USA Nationals earlier. Way to go Seth! And thanks to the Brookings Wrestling Club that helps support opportunities like this!
Re: Seth Gross wins a spot on USA freestyle world team!
I see that Seth wrestled at 60kg for this event and is moving down to 133lb weight class this next year. SDSU wrestling is on the rise and will be fun to watch next year and years to come.
Seth wrestled in France over the weekend. He lost both of his matches, but his first loss was by one point to the silver medalist from Turkey.
60 kg/132 lbs. – Seth Gross, Rosemount, Minn. (Jackrabbit WC), 8th
LOSS Selim Kozan (Turkey), 11-10
LOSS Ilman Mukhtarov (France), 16-11
I love seeing that Jackrabbit Wrestling Club after his name!
He fell way behind early in that match,and came back to fall just short ,by 1 pt as you mentioned....great effort. Congratulations to Seth.
