Colorado Springs, Colo. - Stanford freshmen Zack Giesen and Lucas Espericueta competed at the FILA Junior World Team Trials in Colorado Springs, Colo. last week, and both finished in the top six.
Giesen, the 2007 Pac-10 Freshman of the Year, went 3-1 and claimed third place at 84 kg. Espericueta went 2-1 on the day, finishing in the top six at 74 kg.
"This was a great opportunity to train at the Olympic Training Center," said Head Coach Kerry McCoy. "It gave both Zack and Lucas the chance to see some elite competition and continue to improve."
