Sebastian Rivera of the Scarlet Knight Wrestling program will be competing at the World Championships starting tomorrow (4:00AM EST) in the 65kg (143.3lbs) weight class representing Puerto Rico. Rivera received his draw this afternoon and will be facing M. Sacultan of Moldova in the first round. His American counterpart at this weight, Joey Mckenna, ended up on the opposite side of the bracket, so the only chance of the two facing off would be in the finals.
