NEWARK, N.J. – NC State wrestling class of 2024 alumnus Trent Hidlay has earned a spot on the 2025 U.S. Senior Freestyle World Team at 92 kg and is set to represent the United States at the Senior World Championships in Zagreb, Croatia, September 13-21.
The two-time NCAA Finalist for the Wolfpack has torn through the freestyle circuit this season. Hidlay made his way to Newark after winning the U.S. Open in Las Vegas in April, automatically punching his ticket to compete at Final X. The series was best two-of-three at the Prudential Center but it only took the Lewistown, Pa. native the first two bouts to knock out current Penn State wrestler Josh Barr.
Hidlay becomes just the second alumnus of the NC State wrestling program to make the U.S. Senior Freestyle World Team. Two-time heavyweight national champion for the Pack Nick Gwiazdowski was the first to do it, he represented the nation in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2021, earning a bronze medal in both 2017 and 2018.
Hidlay currently resides in Raleigh where he competes for the Wolfpack RTC.
