    ATHENS, Greece -- The United States went three-for-three in Sunday night's gold-medal finals of the 2017 Cadet World Championships in Athens, Greece.

    Kurt McHenry won his second-consecutive Cadet World title, cruising to a 12-4 victory in the 46 kg/101 lbs. finals of the 2017 Cadet World Championships in Athens, Greece, on Sunday evening.

    McHenry's slick throw-by takedowns were the key in his gold-medal bout against 2016 Cadet World champion Giorgi Gegelashvili. He led 8-0 within the final minute, but the Georgian made it to the scoreboard with a takedown a turn with a trapped-arm gut to cut McHenry's lead to 8-4.

    McHenry scored as the buzzer sounded on a four-point throw for a 12-4 win and his second World championship.

    In their international debuts, Aaron Brooks and Daniel Kerkvliet also claimed World golds, defeating Russians in the 76 kg/167 lbs. and 100 kg/220 lbs. finals, respectively.
