Holm, a two-time World Team member, took control early in earning a 6-0 finals win over Jon Anderson at 85 kilos/187 pounds on Thursday afternoon at the U.S. Olympic Training Center.
"Dave Schultz is a tough tournament," Holm said. "I am really proud of the fact that I have done real well here. I got dinged up in practice and couldn't go in the Pinto Cup. My coach told me it was my call today if I wanted to go. That made it my decision which meant I couldn't say no. It turned out well.
"There are some things I will take from today that are positives and that I will build on. I am excited I am going to continue to train here for another week with Kazakhstan. They have some guys who are pretty good in my weight class within the World."
Americans Ben Provisor and Michael Hooker also captured championships as the three-day Schultz event kicked off on Thursday. Read more
