With November suddenly right around the corner and with it the start of the 2022-23 college wrestling season, two Scarlet Knights will have a significant preseason test next month in Pontevedra, Spain as Dylan Shawver (57kg) and Sammy Alvarez (65kg) each earned a spot on the Team Puerto Rico 23 and under (U23) National team.
The two standout lightweights follow in the footsteps of former Scarlet Knight All-American Sebastian Rivera, who is set to compete at the Senior World Championships for Team Puerto Rico next week (Sept. 10 - 18) in Belgrade, Serbia.
Rivera picked up the three seed in his 65kg bracket and we’ll have a tournament preview of what a potential run from the former All-American could look like next week.
