Rodriguez, Trice win Greco National Titles
4/10 - The University Nationals and FILA Cadet Nationals will go down this
weekend in Akron, OH and got started today with Greco-Roman competition.
The University division consists of college aged-wrestlers while FILA Cadet
is younger high school wrestlers.
Michigan crowned a Greco champ in each division as Freddie Rodriguez of

The win for Rodriguez was his 2nd FILA Cadet National Championship as he

at 220lbs with his only loss coming to returning Cadet Greco National
Champ Tanner Hall of Idaho.
Trice won the University Greco Title at heavyweight over a pair of Spartans
