From Bound Brook, New Jersey to Blacksburg, Mekhi Lewis is now
set to head across the Atlantic to Slovakia for the Junior World
Championships. On Episode 67 of Inside Virginia Tech Wrestling, we
meet Lewis to talk about growing up in New Jersey, what he liked
about his visits that made him choose Virginia Tech, working out
with David McFadden and the other Hokie wrestlers and what sparked
an interest in wanting to compete for Team USA.
After going 28-2 during his redshirt season, there's high hopes for
Lewis this coming season, but there's also high hopes for his
development in freestyle wrestling. He'll talk about his
improvement from Las Vegas to Rochester and what helped him win the
spot.
He'll also talk about his first experience at the Olympic Training
Center and how he's been readied by his work within the Southeast
Regional Training Center.
