Jesse Porter’s dreams of reaching this summer’s Olympic Games in Tokyo fell three wins shy of becoming reality.
Porter, a 2015 Shenendehowa High School graduate and winner of the U.S. Olympic Trials in Greco-Roman wrestling’s 77-kilogram weight class, needed to reach the finals Saturday at the World Olympic Games Qualifier in Sofia, Bulgaria in order to lock up his spot in Tokyo.
