"Betts became the fourth wrestler in Greco to earn a spot, beating fellow Storm wrestler Jordan Holm in consecutive matches for top honors at 84 kg/185 lbs. In the first bout, Betts, a 2009 World Team member used a turn to secure the first period, but a powerful Holm toss sent the match to a third where Betts benefitted from a tough call to win after an extended review. The second bout saw another extended review won by Betts in a 2-0, 2-0, victory."
