Iowa junior Spencer Lee went to the 2016 Summer Olympics in Brazil as a workout partner with Daniel Dennis.
Now Lee may be heading back to the Olympics as a participant.
The Murrysville native and Franklin Regional grad won the 57 kg (125 pounds) U.S. Senior National Freestyle Championship on Sunday in Fort Worth, Texas by defeating Nathan Tomasello, 8-2.
The win qualified Lee for the 2020 U.S. Olympic Trials on April 4-5 at Penn State.
