CHAPEL HILL --- Three members of the UNC wrestling program will be competing at Reynolds Coliseum in Raleigh this weekend for a chance to represent the United States at this year's World Championships. Assistant coach Tony Ramos will be competing at the World Team Trials Tournament alongside Brandon Whitman and Jaime Hernandez, who will be wrestling in the Junior Men's Freestyle Trials.
