Congrats Julian!

Julian won his wrestle-off this week to secure the starting position for Liberty University's wrestling team at 157 lbs. Congrats, Jules!!

Here is a little write-up from Liberty's website about the bout:


Shaun Smith and Julian Colon took to the mats next in one of the closest bouts of the exhibition dual at 157 pounds. Smith held a 2-1 lead after the first period, as the junior took an early lead with a takedown. Smith chose to open the second down and quickly escaped, but Colon battled back and tied the match at 3-3 with a two-point takedown before the second period buzzer sounded. Following Smith’s second-period lead, Colon scored a one-point escape point during the opening ticks of the third period and was able to evade several charges by Smith to secure the 4-3 decision and pull the Red back within four points, 10-6.
