RALEIGH, N.C. – As the 2018-19 NC State wrestling season is about to get underway in a little more then a month, the Wolfpack’s Regional Training Center (RTC) will be just as busy the next few weeks.
Three members of the Wolfpack’s RTC just recently landed in Russia for an international tournament. Former Wolfpack grapplers Tommy Gantt and Lee Davis, as well as Timmy McCall, will all be in action at the Mining Glory International Freestyle Tournament which takes place Sept. 22-23.  Last year at this tournament, Gantt won a bronze medal while McCall placed fifth.  A senior-level training camp is also currently being held out in Colorado at the USA Wrestling headquarters.
Former NC State national champions Nick Gwiazdowski and Michael Macchiavello are already out there, this after both participated in another domestic camp in California a couple of weeks back.  Gwiazdowski is gearing up for the 2018 World Championships to be held in Hungary in late October.
Joining Gwiazdowski and Macchiavello in Colorado Springs this weekend will be current R-So. Nick Reenan, who advanced to the Final X this past summer. The Wolfpack RTC’s current head coach Obe Blanc will also be traveling out to help train the U.S. World Team.  Also former Duke All-American, Jacob Kasper, who also trains at the Wolfpack RTC, will head to Colorado as well.  A current member of the Wolfpack will be in international action in November. R-So. Hayden Hidlay earned top honors back in June at the U23 World Team Trails, and advanced to the World Championships which will be held Nov. 12-18 in Romania. Hidlay will compete in freestyle at 70 kg.
Macchiavello also qualified for the U23 World Championships by winning his first post-college event at 92 kg. But his 24^th birthday falls in this calendar year and he will not be able to compete.  For more details and further news check Visit www.GoPack.com
