SZOMBATHELY, Hungary – The four U.S. Greco-Roman wrestlers entered at the FILA Cadet World Championships on Saturday were defeated in their first match and later eliminated from competition when their opponents failed to reach the finals.

Dropping their opening bouts were Lincoln Olson of Linwood, Mich. at 42 kg/92.5 lbs., Gabe Schroeck of Clancy, Montana at 50 kg/110 lbs., Hayden Tuma of Boise, Idaho at 58 kg/127.75 lbs. and Ryan Gartner of Twin Lakes, Wis. at 69 kg/152 lbs.

In each case, the athlete which the U.S. wrestler lost to was unable to reach the finals, which eliminated the U.S. wrestlers from the repechage round.

There was also competition at 85 kg/187.25 lbs., but the United States does not have an entry in that division.

Coaching the Greco-Roman team is Mel Dow of Stoughton, Wis. along with National Greco-Roman Developmental Coach Ike Anderson of Colorado Springs, Colo.

Four other U.S. Greco-Roman wrestlers have weighed in and will compete on Sunday, the last day of the Cadet World Championships. Their draw will be posted in another story later this morning.
