The United States Greco-Roman program is in good shape when it's young stars like Rhett Peak who represent the future.

Every so often, the United States is home to young athletes who, for whatever reason, do not fit inside of a traditional developmental box. We’re talking about fresh-faced wrestlers who wield all, or most, of the tools coaches want to see, and compete in all of the supposed big-ticket tournaments ...

2024 saw Team USA deliver their best performance at a U23 World Championships in the history of the tournament. So much better than any other previous year that there is not even a reasonable basis for comparison.

The day after Beka Melelashvili (82 kg, NYAC) earned silver to give the United States their first-ever U23 World medalist, Billy Sullivan (55 kg, Army/WCAP), Payton Jacobson (87 kg, NMU/NTS), and Keith Miley (130 kg, Arkansas RTC) entered action Wednesday morning with their own chances to make the p...

In addition to his World title, Losonczi (who turned 24 just last month) already claims a long list of impressive credentials including a Senior bronze (’2...
