    Junior freestyle runner-up Melendez commits to UNC

    Two-time state champion Joey Melendez (Montini Catholic, Ill.) verbally committed to the University of North Carolina on Monday afternoon. He ended the 2016-17 season ranked No. 7 nationally at 113 pounds, and entered the Fargo week as the No. 67 overall wrestler in the Class of 2018. Melendez had an excellent Fargo finishing as the Junior National freestyle runner-up at 120 pounds.

    An additional notable accomplishment in the last 12 months for the projected 125/133 is a championship at the Preseason Nationals last fall. He joins No. 21 Brandon Whitman (Dundee, Mich.) as a Tar Heels verbal commitment in the Class of 2018.
