Lawrence North graduate Reece Humphrey may have been the only Indiana wrestler to medal in the Greco-Roman competition at the USA Wrestling Junior Nationals this week in Fargo, N.D., but he upheld Hoosier pride in a big way.
Humphrey won the gold medal in the 135-pound weight class. He outlasted Cesar Grajales of Florida, 4-3, at the 8:59 mark of overtime to take the title.
Humphrey is a three-time state champion in the Indiana high school ranks. Undefeated over his last two years in high school, Humphrey will take his considerable skills to Ohio State this coming year.
