    LAS VEGAS - Friday night's U.S. Open Senior Greco-Roman finals saw high-flying action inside the South Point Arena as 10 wrestlers punched their tickets to the World Team Trials best-of-three finals in June.

    A rematch of the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team Trials finals, the 130-kilogram gold-medal match was one of the night's most anticipated bouts as Olympian Robby Smith (New York AC) took on 2016 Olympic Team Trials runner-up and 2016 US Open champion Adam Coon (New York AC/MWC) for the 130-kilogram title.

    Smith dominated the match, shutting down Coon, who had an impressive run to the finals. Smith, a four-time Senior World Team member, picked up four points in the first period, bullying Coon out of bounds twice and scoring a takedown. Only one more point was scored in the second period, which gave Smith a 5-0 win and his third U.S. Open championship. Smith owns titles from the 2013 and 2014 U.S. Opens.
