Jared Frayer, assistant coach of the Wisconsin men's wrestling team, placed second in the freestyle finals at 66 kg/145.5 lbs at the 2010 World Team Trials in Council Bluffs, Iowa on Saturday.

Frayer, who place first at the 2010 ASICS U.S. Open freestyle at 66 kg/145.5 lbs in April, earned an automatic trip to the World Team Trial's best-of-3-series where he had to face the winner of Saturday's Challenge.

After two-time NCAA and Big Ten champion Brent Metcalf of Iowa captured first place in Saturday's Challenge, he advanced to face Frayer in the best-of-3-final-round series at the Mid-America Center.

Frayer, representing Gator Wrestling Club, defeated Metcalf (New York AC) 1-0, 1-0 in round one but fell to him 3-0, 3-4, 2-1 and 0-6, 4-0, 2-0 in rounds two and three, respectively.

With Saturday's victory under his belt, Metcalf earned a trip to compete in September's World Championships in Moscow, Russia.

After placing second on Saturday night, Frayer has now earned runner-up accolades at the World Team Trials three times in his career.
