Mark Hall Added To World Cup Roster
With Jordan Burroughs out in preparation for baby Burroughs #2, (Go Lauren!) there have been some lineup changes for Team USA at 74kg.  Oklahoma State Hodge Trophy winner Alex Dieringer moves into the starting role at 74kg.  Next man up for Team USA?  Our Junior World team rep at 74kg, Mark Hall.  If given the opportunity, this will be the first Senior level international match of Mark's career.  

Hall, a 6-time state champion from Minnesota is headed to Penn State next year, but has a busy summer planned before heading to Happy Valley.  He'll  be wrestling in the Junior World Championships in Macon, France in August. 

It is unknown at this point if Hall will get the chance to wrestle.  Team USA will be taking on India and Azerbaijan on Saturday.  On Sunday they'll face Iran and one other team. 

Mark took the opportunity to tweet his excitement about the World Cup on Friday:



Hall recently made the world team after downing his future teammate Jason Nolf of Penn State.  

He got some international experience in May when he faced an Iranian, Ahmad Bazrighaleh, at Beat The Streets.
