Durlacher, from Buffalo Grove, Ill., won a bronze medal at 55 kg/121 lbs. in his second appearance at the World Championships last September in Guangzhou, China. Durlacher won an Illinois state championship for Buffalo Grove High School in 1992. He also won a state title in Wisconsin as a junior in 1991.

Dantzler and Durlacher were part of a U.S. team that placed third in the Greco-Roman team race at the 2006 World meet.

Danztler won the U.S. Nationals on April 7 and will take the No. 1 seed at 163 into the U.S. World Team Trials on June 9-10 in Las Vegas. Dantzler already has clinched a spot in the best-of-3 finals by virtue of winning the U.S. Nationals and placing in the top five at the World Championships last year. Durlacher placed second at the U.S. Nationals and will be the No. 2 seed in his weight class at the World Team Trials.
