OMAHA, Neb. - Three North Carolina wrestling alumni are set to compete at the 2024 Senior World Team Trials this weekend, on Sept. 14-15 in Omaha, Neb.

Monday, a resident athlete with the New Jersey Regional Training Center, was a two-time NCAA qualifier for Carolina during his time as a Tar Heel. In July, Monday was victorious at 79 KG at the Grand Prix of Spain.
At 82 KG, Eischens will compete this weekend for the Tar Heel Wrestling Club in the Greco-Roman division.
