Colorado Springs, Colo. - Mizzou freshman Dom Bradley scored a victory in the 120KG (264.5 pounds) weight class of the FILA Junior World Team Trails this weekend, as he defeated Zach Rey (Lehigh) to earn a spot on the United States Junior Freestyle National Team.

The FILA Junior World Team Trials were held May 18-23 at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., and the champions of each weight class advance to the FILA Junior World Championships on Aug. 4-9 in Ankara, Turkey.

Rey actually earned a 1-0, 2-0 decision over Bradley in the Round 1, but Mizzou's redshirt freshman scored a 4-0, 1-0 decision in Round 2 and a 3-1, 3-0 decision in Round 3 to claim the title and a berth onto the U.S. squad.

The victory caps an outstanding freshman campaign for the Blue Springs, Mo., native. Bradley went 17-3 this past season for the Tigers and wrestled in the same weight class as 2009 NCAA National Champion, Mark Ellis.
