U.S. World Team Trials in Oklahoma City:
Friday’s first session: Ex-Hawkeye Mike Zadick’s bid for a fifth World Team Trials freestyle title came to an end in the challenge tournament 132-pound semifinals against Coleman Scott. The former national champion for Oklahoma State turned a low-level attack into a 3-point move in the third period to beat Zadick 2-0, 0-2, 3-0.
Zadick, a 2006 World silver medalist and 2008 Olympian, won trials titles four of the last five years at the weight class.
Scott beat former Cyclone Nick Fanthorpe in the quarterfinals. Zadick finished fourth.
At 163 pounds, Council Bluffs native and Iowa State 2007 NCAA champion Trent Paulson, a trials champion in 2009, fell to former Missouri all-American Nick Marable in the challenge tournament semifinals. Paulson came back to pin ex-Hawkeye Ryan Morningstar and beat veteran Kirk White for third.
After falling to 2011 NCAA runner-up Tyler Caldwell in the first round, Morningstar won three matches before running into Paulson.
Luke Lofthouse, who finished his Iowa career with an all-America season in 2011, came back to win three matches at 211 pounds after a first-round loss to Chad Hanke.
Saturday: The 2010 trials champion Brent Metcalf was set to compete Saturday. Metcalf, a two-time NCAA champion for the Hawkeyes, will participate in the challenge tournament at 1451/2 pounds. Metcalf lost to top-seeded Teyon Ware at the U.S. Open and finished third.
