With the help of incoming Husker freshman Camden McDanel, Team USA’s U20 freestyle squad did some serious work on Saturday at the Pan-American Championships in Lima, Peru.
Coming in after a gap year training at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, McDanel competed for Team USA at 97 kg for the second year in a row. Despite losing the spot on the U20 World Team to Justin Rademacher this year at the World Team Trials, McDanel got the nod to compete in Lima and didn’t disappoint.
Last year, McDanel won gold at U20 Pan-Ams and took bronze at the U20 World Championships.
