IOWA CITY, Iowa — James Green continued to show that he’s feeling good after November hip surgery with a dominating performance in Sunday’s third session of the United World Wrestling World Cup at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
The former Husker topped Georgia’s Levan Kelekhsashvili 8-0 at 154 pounds, his third win of the weekend with one match to go.
“He’s still getting his timing back a little bit, but I see his willingness to learn and want to get better,” said Nebraska associate head coach Bryan Snyder, who serves as Green’s primary coach. “He’s hungry. He knows he’s not fully where he needs to be, but as a coach I’m happy with where he’s at.
