MINNEAPOLIS – Minnesota wrestling will be represented by five Gophers this weekend at the 2024 U23 Nationals and U20 World Team Trials in Geneva, Ohio.
Redshirt freshman Max McEnelly (86 kg) and incoming freshmen Charlie Millard (74 kg) and Koy Hopke (125 kg) are all scheduled to compete in the U20 Freestyle competition, while redshirt freshman Rhett Koenig (63 kg) is set to take part in U20 Greco-Roman. In addition, transfer Clayton Whiting is scheduled to compete at 79 kg in the U23 Freestyle tournament.
The World Team Trials take place May 31 through June 2 at the Spire Institute and will be streamed on FloWrestling.
Koenig will open the competition Friday at 9 a.m. CT with his Greco-Roman tournament, while the U20 Freestyle tournament takes place Saturday starting at 8:30 a.m. CT and the U23 Freestyle takes place over Saturday and Sunday.
Koenig was limited to just seven matches this year at 141 pounds, going 3-4 at open tournaments. He made his collegiate debut at the Jim Koch Open with a 2-1 record, finishing as runner-up. Koenig also competed at the Soldier Salute, sporting a 1-3 record. He came in fourth at last month's 2024 US Open Championships in Greco-Roman at 63 kg.
McEnelly was 15-0 this past year at 184 pounds for Minnesota, including a last-second win over then-No. 22 Brian Soldano at Rutgers in his dual debut. McEnelly recorded a team-best eight tech falls and added one pin and one major decision on the year. He won titles at the Bison Open, Daktronics Open, Cougar Clash and Soldier Salute. Last month, McEnelly earned a third-place finish at 86 kg at the U.S. Open Championships.
Millard hails from Mequon, Wis., and attends Homestead High School. Ranked 29th on MatScouts' Final Big Board, he was a two-time state champion as he won as a senior at 157 pounds in Division I and as a junior at 160. As a freshman he placed fourth at 138 pounds, then moved up to 152 pounds as a sophomore and claimed second place. Millard placed seventh at 74 kg at the US Open Championships.
A native of Amery, Wis., and Amery High School, Hopke ranked ninth overall on MatScouts' Final Big Board. He was also WIWrestle's top pound-for-pound wrestler in the state of Wisconsin. Hopke is a four-time Division II State Champion, winning three titles at 220 pounds before claiming the heavyweight crown as a senior. Like McEnelly, Hopke also placed third at last month's US Open Championships as he competed at 125 kg.
Whiting, who intends to compete at 174 pounds for the Golden Gophers, transferred to Minnesota last month after two years competing at 184 pounds for Missouri where he posted a 25-5 overall record. This past season as a redshirt freshman, Whiting went 10-3 overall, including an 8-3 record in duals. Five of his wins were by major decision, three were by tech fall, and he added one by pin. As a true freshman in 2022-23, Whiting went 15-2 with one win by fall and one by tech fall. He competed in six open tournaments, winning three titles and sharing a fourth.
