After cruising through the competition, Penn State redshirt freshman wrestler Brady Berge will have the opportunity Saturday to earn his spot on the USA’s Junior Freestyle World Team — and he won’t be the only Nittany Lion wrestling.
Berge will take part in the Best-of-Three Finals Matchups at the 2018 Junior Freestyle World Team Trials Challenge in the 70kg weight class in Rochester, Minn. He’ll face North Carolina’s Austin O’Connor at 5 p.m. Saturday and, if he wins, will replace O’Connor as the USA representative.
Future Nittany Lion Aaron Brooks, who committed earlier this year and will join the team in 2019, already earned his 79kg spot.
