The Northern Michigan Greco-Roman wrestling team competed in the Kolbotn Cup in Norway this past weekend, taking home the U20 team title headlined by seven medalists.

Elyle Francisco stood atop the podium in the 55kg weight class, earning the gold medal by sweeping the round robin series in the finale.

The squad from Northern Michigan earned five silver medals throughout the competition.

Kaden Ercanbrack took down teammate Ryder Smith in the silver medal contest to earn second place in the 60kg weight class, while Smith garnered bronze. In the 67kg, Jaxon Bearden went 4-2 in six contests to finish runner-up.

Daniel Eubanks picked up another silver medal at 97kg while Cam Groncki also finished second in the heavyweight 130kg clas.

In the 63kg class, Maddox Khalimsky went 2-1 in his three matches to earn another bronze medal for the Northern group.

Everyone from NMU picked up at least one win.

“I think that the tournament was a success for us,” Assistant coach Parker Betts said after the tournament. “For a lot of our guys, it was their first time overseas, so several factors come into play with travel, fatigue, nerves, and etc., but they handled it all very well. Everyone has their heads high right now with a handful of medals and the team championship. Everyone on the team showed something positive during the tournament, but we have plenty to work on, as well.”
