With wrestling’s U-20 World Championships scheduled to take place in Bulgaria next week, Maryland freshman Jaxon Smith is set to compete, as he will wrap up his impressive run of summer performances this year for the red, white and blue.
With the qualification round starting at 4 a.m. on June 16, Smith and his personal coach Alex Clemsen (also Maryland’s head coach) will take on opponents on the world stage. They will hope to make it to the semifinals later in the day and the medal matches at 11 a.
