    Hazewinkel storms into Greco World Team Trials finals

    DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Sam Hazewinkel was more than eager to have another shot to make a U.S. World Team.

    Two weeks after falling in the finals of the World Team Trials in freestyle, Hazewinkel landed a spot in the World Team Trials in Greco-Roman on Friday at the Ocean Center Exhibit Hall.

    Hazewinkel defeated Max Nowry 2-2 on criteria to win the Challenge Tournament on Friday afternoon at 59 kilos/130 pounds.

    "I feel good -- I can't complain," said Hazewinkel, a 2012 Olympian in freestyle. "My timing is just a touch off, but for not doing Greco for a while I feel real good out there. Freestyle has helped me where I'm used to moving around more, and it helps me with level changes and creating angles in Greco. My conditioning's real good from training for the freestyle Trials."

    Hazewinkel advances to face a familiar foe in the finals in two-time Olympian and four-time World Team member Spenser Mango in the best-of-3 final-round series. Read full story …
