RALEIGH, NC – NC State’s Isaac Trumble will have a little something extra in his luggage when he returns to US soil.
Wednesday afternoon Trumble earned a technical fall victory, 12-2, over Radu Lefter (Moldova), earning a gold medal (97 kg) at the U23 World Championships in Tirana, Albania.
He’s the first gold medal winner for NC State in any age division.
Trumble is a part of the first freestyle championship for the United States. Team USA earned first place with 148 points, followed by Turkey (113) and Azerbaijan (87).
Trumble blazed through the opening day, outscoring his opponents 35-4.
He jumped out to a commanding 8-0 lead at the break in the gold medal match and never looked back. Lefter scored a two-pointer and Trumble bounced back with a counter to go up 10-2.
Last season the Springfield, Nebraska native finished 21-6 as a 197-pounder. … rest of story at … GOpack.com/news/2023/10/25/wrestling-isaac-trumble-wins-gold-medal-at-u23-world-championships
