The U.S. men's freestyle wrestling team will be led by 2001 World bronze medalist Joe Williams (Coralville, Iowa/Sunkist Kids) at 74 kg/163 lbs. at the 2003 Pan American Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, August 6-8.     Williams is one of two U.S. team members that have competed in this event before, capturing a gold medal in 1999. He is one of the most experienced men's freestyle wrestlers in the U.S., winning three U.S. Nationals titles and four consecutive World Cup gold medals. Williams, who hails from athlete-rich Mount Carmel High School in Chicago, Ill., was unable to compete at the World Championships in Tehran, Iran last year after the U.S. received a credible threat against the team.    Repeating as champion of the Pan American Games may not be easy for Williams, though, as he may have to face 2000 Olympic Champion and 1999 World Champion Daniel Igali of Canada.    The other member of the U.S. squad with Pan American Games experience is Eric Guerrero (Stillwater, Okla./Gator WC), who will represent the U.S. at 60 kg/132 lbs. In 1999, Guerrero won a silver medal at the Pan American Games. Guerrero won his third consecutive U.S. Nationals title this year, and with a gold medal at the 2002 World Cup, has begun established himself as a dominant force on the international level.    Guerrero is likely to have to defeat three-time World medalist, 1996 Olympic silver medalist and 2001 World Champion Guivi Sissaouri of Canada to win a gold medal this year. Sissaouri has defeated Guerrero in numerous close matches, including at the 2001 World Championships, 2002 World Cup and the 2002 Kurt Angle Classic. Guerrero may also receive stiff competition from Yandro Miguel Quintana of Cuba, who has also defeated Guerrero before.    Veteran Kerry McCoy (Bethlehem, Pa./New York AC) will join the U.S. roster at 120 kg/264.5 lbs. McCoy, who is preparing to compete in the World Championships in his home state of New York in September, is now on his fourth U.S. World Team. He placed fifth at the 2000 Olympics and fourth at the 1998 and 2001 World Championships.    McCoy is likely to have to defeat Alexis Rodriguez of Cuba to win this tournament. Rodriguez is a four-time World medalist, including a silver-medal performance last year. He also won a bronze medal at the 2000 Olympics and was a World Champion in 1998. McCoy defeated Rodriguez in overtime at the Titan Games earlier this year.    The U.S. squad is also filled with experienced young competitors, including Stephen Abas (Fresno, Calif./Sunkist Kids) at 55 kg/121 lbs. and Cael Sanderson (Ames, Iowa/Sunkist Kids) at 84 kg/185 lbs.    Abas is one of the world's top young stars, winning gold medals at the last two World Cups. This former two-time NCAA champion at Fresno State Univ. competed at the 2001 World Championships, skipping the first half of his senior season in college to train for that event.    Abas will most likely see his new rival Rene Montero of Cuba at this tournament. The 23 year-old Montero, a 2002 World Champion, defeated Abas 3-2 at the Titan Games in February.    Sanderson has run into a lot of bad luck with his previous World Team experiences. In 2001, the September 11 attacks on New York City postponed the World Championships slated for Madison Square Garden just two weeks later. Sanderson decided to concentrate on his final collegiate season and skip the World Championships. Last year, he was a member of the U.S. team which received a credible threat days before the World Championships in Tehran, Iran.    This year, the only undefeated four-time national champion in college history hopes to find glory on the international level. He could see four-time World medalist and 2000 Olympic silver medalist Yoel Romero of Cuba. Sanderson lost a close 3-2 overtime decision to Romero at the Titan Games.    There will also be two newcomers to the U.S. World Team this year: Jamill Kelly (Stillwater, Okla./Gator WC) at 66 kg/145.5 lbs. and Daniel Cormier (Stillwater, Okla./Gator WC) at 96 kg/211.5 lbs.    Kelly stunned many with his performance at the U.S. World Team Trials in June, defeating Olympic bronze medalist Lincoln McIlravy along with former U.S. World Team members Chris Bono and Bill Zadick.    At the Pan American Games, Kelly's toughest competition may come from Serguet Rondon of Cuba, who won the Pan American Championships, or Neal Ewers of Canada, who placed eighth at the 2002 World Championships.    Cormier earned his ticket to the Pan American Games after defeating Dean Morrison in a Special Wrestle-Off. Cormier has battled through adversity since winning his first U.S. Nationals title in May. He has fought through groin and rib injuries and battled through the loss of his three-month old daughter, who died in a tragic car accident days before the U.S. World Team Trials in June.    He was granted an extension for his championship series to earn a spot on the U.S. World Team. Extensions can only be given to reigning U.S. Nationals champions.    Cormier could face Wilfredo Morales of Cuba, a six-time World Championships top 10 place winner and a six-time World Cup medalist. He placed seventh at the 2002 World Championships. Morales also won a silver medal at the 1999 Pan American Games.    Abas, Guerrero and McCoy were also unable to compete in the 2002 World Championships due to a credible threat placed against the U.S. squad.    The team will be coached by Zeke Jones (Morgantown, W.V.) and Mike Duroe (Philadelphia, Pa.).    Jones currently serves as an assistant coach at West Virginia Univ. He was a member of the 1996 and 2000 U.S. Olympic freestyle coaching staffs. He also served as a coach for the 2001 U.S. Freestyle World Team. He was named the 2001 USA Wrestling Freestyle Coach of the Year.    As a competitor, Jones captured a World Championship in 1991, a silver medal at the 1992 Olympics and a bronze medal at the 1995 World Championships. He was also a four-time World Cup gold medalist (1989-1991, 1994, 1995) and a six-time U.S. Nationals champion (1989-91, 1993-94, 1997).    Duroe is currently the Head Assistant Coach at the Univ. of Pennsylvania. Prior to that, Duroe served three years as the National Developmental Coach, Resident Coach, and National Women's Coach at USA Wrestling. He was also a member of the 1996 and 2000 U.S. Olympic Men's Freestyle Team coaching staffs, and served as Head Coach or Assistant Coach for multiple World and Pan-American championship teams. He also served as Head Coach at four U.S. Olympic Festivals (1989-90, 1993-94).    As an athlete, Duroe was a three-time National Freestyle place winner and a 1984 Olympic Trials competitor.    This event will serve as the last major competition for the U.S. squad before the World Championships, which will be held in New York City, N.Y. at the world-famous Madison Square Garden, Sept. 12-14.
