COLUMBUS, Ohio – Reece Humphrey, an Ohio State wrestling letterwinner from 2006-10, rallied from a first-round loss to win the bronze medal at the University World Championships in Torino, Italy, Wednesday.
Humphrey, an Indianapolis, Ind., native defeated Undrakhbayar Khishignayam of Mongolia 3-1, 5-2 in the 132-pound freestyle bronze medal matchup. After losing his first-round bout to Moldova’s Andrei Perpelita, who was the eventual runner-up, Humphrey rebounded with a 3-1, 2-0 victory in a repechage match against Jadshani Ghorbanine of Iran.
A two-time All-American, NCAA runner-up as a four-time NCAA championships qualifier, as well as a two-time Big Ten runner-up, Humphrey also won the silver medal at the University World Championships in 2008.
Lou Rosselli, the Buckeyes’ associate head coach, is currently serving as one of two coaches of the U.S. National Freestyle team in Torino.
