The Freestyle World team trials will get underway this weekend in Lincoln and NDSU will be well represented. Hayden Zillmer and Kallen Kleinschmidt will both be in the 97kg division. Kallen will likely be the higher seed of the two, since he has more high level FS experience and has more quality wins, but Hayden can compete with all of these guys, minus the reigning Olympic, World, and NCAA champion Kyle Snyder
Paul Bianchi and Brandon Metz will try for a spot on the Junior world team as well. Both have a very tough road, as Daton Fix stands in Paul's way and the 2 x Cadet World Champion Gable Steveson is in Metz' way. Bianchi wrestled incredibly well to take runner up to Fix and qualify for this. He beat a number of huge blue chip recruits and I'm hoping he makes the finals and gets another shot at Fix.
