    Perkins named Outstanding Wrestler as USA gets four Greco-Roman golds at Dave Schultz Memorial

    COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Four U.S. wrestlers won gold medals in Greco-Roman on the first day of the Dave Schultz Memorial International at the U.S. Olympic Training Center on Thursday.

    Winning the Outstanding Wrestler award in Greco-Roman was RaVaughn Perkins (USA/New York AC), who defeated Alejandro Sancho (USA/New York AC), 3-0 in the finals at 66 kilos/145.5 pounds.

    Perkins hit a two-point gutwrench in the first period and added a point on a passivity in the second period for the margin of victory. The 66-kilo/145.5-pound class was one of the most competitive in the tournament. Sancho placed second in the 2015 World Team Trials, the highest ranked athlete in the field at the weight class.
