We have two guys that won their weight classes at final X while they were still in high school. This has never happened before let alone 2 hs kids wrestling for team USA at the World Championships.

Back on June 19th PJ Duke beat 2022 World silver medalist Yianni Diakomihalis in a best-of-three series, two matches to one.
Diakomihalis 10-0
Duke 17-10 after trailing 9-2
Duke for the Pin after trailing 2-0 with 4:07 left

PJ graduated the following week and is headed to college in the fall.

The second one was Jax Forrest beating the reigning World Champ Vito Arujau in 2 straight matches. I am still spinning from this because grown man strength usually wins when you are taking on a kid thats going to be a senior in hs. Not to mention that Vito was ranked #1 in the world prior to these matches. After Jax wins gold he will go back to classes at high school...

Too bad these guys are headed to psu and okie state instead of wrestling for the good guys... Can't wait to watch the matches at the Senior World Championships in Zagreb, Croatia, September 13-21
