CHATTANOOGA---It was an early morning for Chattanooga Mocs wrestling fans. Junior Noah Castillo hit the mat at the U23 World Championships at 5 a.m., Eastern time, for Team Puerto Rico.
 
Castillo, wrestling at the international weight of 70 kilograms (152+ lbs) squared off with Belgium's Ibragim Veliev. The Mocs stalwart was making his first international appearance, and the first by a Moc on record.
 
It was a close, competitive affair over six minutes. It was not meant to be for Castillo losing 3-1 but building a solid base for future international competition. His tournament was complete when Veliev lost 3-2 to Turkey's Burak Sinin.
 
Castillo, a communication major, will put his studies to use over the next few days. He's going to share a first-person recounting of his experiences at the World Championships and trip to Albania.
