Russell Rebounds In Olympic Trials!

The long road through the Challenger's Bracket has begun for Capitol Heights, MD 119-pounder Gary Russell, Jr. Russell won his first bout in the bracket, defeating David Clark of San Diego, CA, 25-7. Clark has been eliminated from the competition with two losses. Alexis Ramos of Fort Carson, CO has also been eliminated from the competition.

Roberto Marroquin of Dallas, TX (who beat Russell in the first round yesterday) and Ronny Rios of Santa Ana, CA will be in the winner's bracket championship tomorrow. Both have two victories. Russell has been joined in the challenger's bracket by Sammy DiPace of Las Cruces, NM, Sergio Perales of Los Fresnos, TX and Jessy Cruz of Miami, FL. I have been told that Russell will take on DiPace in the next round.
