Smith earned his spot in the 92-kilogram group with wins in a best-of-three tournament that took place this past weekend. Smith swept the match, defeating his opponent, Silas Allred, 13-6 and 10-0.
To get to this point, the freshman was dominant in the US Open competition back in April, where he outscored his competition 44-2. That earned him an opportunity for a spot on the World Team, where he proved himself.
The World Championships will take place in Bulgaria from August 15-21 and will feature some of the universe’s best wrestlers under the age of 20.
