USOEC wrestler drops tough match in World Championships

By Anthony Reynolds

Budapest, Hungary – A United States Olympic Education Center Greco-Roman wrestler nearly won his first World Championship match this past weekend. Harry Lester was defeated by Eduard Kratz of Germany in the first round of the World Wrestling Championships in Budapest, Hungary last Saturday. While Lester says he wasn't happy with his performance, he did admit he learned some valuable lessons from the match. USA Wrestling coach Steve Fraser says with some more experience and practice, Lester should become a top-notch competitor in future tournaments.
