COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Following a silver medal performance at the U23 World Championships in Romania this past weekend, Maryland wrestler Youssif Hemida was named the Solomon Eye Associates Terp of the Week.
The senior heavyweight ended his first international competition with a 3-1 record and outscored his first three opponents by a score of 15-3. The lone loss came to the 2015 Junior World Champion Said Gamid Gamidov of Russia.
Hemida was the United States' representative in the 125 KG weight class, a spot he earned at the U23 World Team Trials in June where he went 7-0.
This is the second Terp of the Week honor of Hemida's career.
