The U.S. will send a 14-man unit to this weekend’s Trophy Adriatic international tournament in Porec, Croatia, headlined by experienced U20 World Team members Leister Bowling IV at 77 kg and Arvin Khosravy at 82 kg.

Both Bowling IV and Khosravy competed at last year’s U20 World Championships in Samokov, Bulgaria, Bowling IV taking fifth and Khosravy placing 11th. Both men are U20 Pan American champions and will reprise appearances at the U20 Worlds after winning the U20 World Team Trials held in Las Vegas, Nev., in April. Additionally, Khosravy has wrestled in three age-group World Championships, two at the U20 level and one at the U17 level.

Joining these two talents in Porec are seven other members of the 2026 U20 World Team—Manuel Saldate at 60 kg, Nicholas Sorrow at 63 kg, Amryn Nutter at 67 kg, Eli Esguerra at 72 kg, Aidan Squier at 87 kg, Cittadino Tuttle at 97 kg and Trayvn Boger at 130 kg.

Boger is the only athlete outside of Bowling IV and Khosravy with past World Championships experience, taking 16th place at the 2024 U17 Worlds in Amman, Jordan. Sorrow was a U17 Pan American Champion last summer. Nutter was a Senior-level gold medalist at the 2025 Bill Farrell Memorial International.

Other U.S. talents taking the mats in Porec include Caeden Dominguez at 55 kg, Will Detar at 60 kg, Dominic Wilson at 72 kg, Will Scherer at 77 kg and JT Smith at 87 kg.

The Trophy Adriatic event, which takes place at the Sports Hall Finida on the Croatian coast, is a U20-only competition with the first five Greco-Roman weight classes running through on Saturday, followed by the next five on Sunday. The action begins at 10 a.m. local time each day. Porec, Croatia, is located six hours ahead of U.S. Eastern Time.
