Lee MunsterMunster, a finalist at the event last year, is the first Northwestern representative on the Junior World Team since Anthony Pariano -- older brother of head coach Drew Pariano -- back in 1993.
Munster was joined at the Junior World Team Trials by freshman teammates Colin Shober (Reading, Pa./Schuykill Valley), Kaleb Friedley (Kansas City, Mo./Park Hill) and Alex Polizzi (Beloit, Wis./Beloit Memorial). Polizzi entered the field in the Greco Roman competition and advanced to the finals at 96 kg, which proved to be a grueling three-period match against Marcus Finau. Polizzi won the first period 1-2, 3-0, 1-0, but lost the next two by scores 1-0, 3-0 and 2-0, 1-0.
Shober and Friedley eventually met in the wrestlebacks of the 66 kg freestyle bracket, where Friedley won by fall in 1:28. Friedley then faced Steven Hernandez of Boise State in the consolation finals, with Hernandez notching a 4-0, 5-0 victory.
