Mason Reiniche is in Athens, but the Baylor School junior isn’t there to see the Bulldogs.

He is in Athens, Greece, representing the United States at the United World Wrestling Cadet Championships. He’s in the Greco-Roman tournament.

Reiniche, competing at 152 pounds (69 kilograms), will wrestle at 3:30 a.m. EDT Tuesday. The semifinals are set for 10:30 a.m. that day and the finals for 11 a.m. Wednesday.

His previous longest trips from home were to compete in New York, North Dakota and Colorado. He left Thursday, joining the rest of Team USA in Chicago for the flight to Athens.

Reiniche initially thought he had missed out on the opportunity at the world team trials in early June in Akron, Ohio, where he finished second in Greco-Roman to Will Lewan, but Lewan also won the freestyle tournament and elected to compete in that division instead.
