Seeds released for Greco-Roman World Team Trials in Daytona Beach, Fla.
The six weight classes to be contested at the U.S. World Team Trials in Greco-Roman have weighed in and received their seeds for the competition on Friday, June 13 in Daytona Beach Fla.

Only the six Olympic weight classes of 59 kg/130 lbs., 66 kg/145.5 lbs., 75 kg/165 lbs., 85 kg/176 lbs., 98 kg/216 lbs. and 130 kg/286 lbs. will compete in this phase of the Greco-Roman World Team Trials.

The two non-Olympic weight classes of 71 kg/156.5 lbs. and 80 kg/176 lbs. will compete in the U.S. World Team Trials phase II in Fargo, N.D. in July.
 
Two athletes will sit out of the challenge tournament and advance directly to the best-of-three championship series on Friday night based on winning the U.S. Open and placing in the top five at last year's World Championships. Spenser Mango will await the challenge tournament winner at 59 kg/130 lbs. and Robby Smith will do the same at 130 kg/286 lbs.

Every member of the 2013 U.S. Greco-Roman World Team will be competing in Daytona Beach.

Some interesting notes. I see that after losing in the freestyle WTT to Ramos, Hazewinkel has now surfaced in the seeds for greco at 130 (Thelike's weight). Nic Bogojevic out of Superior is seeded at heavyweight. Ben Provisor is also in there at 176.
