SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. -- Jake Tanenbaum, who will be a sophomore on the Cal Poly wrestling team this fall, earned two gold medals for Team USA at the Maccabiah Games earlier this month in Israel.

Tanenbaum earned gold in the 60kg freestyle class with wins over Dylan Flejszon of Canada (6-0, 6-0). Mikhael Golod of Russia (5-2, 5-1) and Pavel Siniavsky of Israel (5-2, 6-0).

He also won the title in the 55kg Greco Roman competition with victories over Igor Roitman of Israel (3-2, 6-0) and Artum Roitman of Israel (3-3, 6-0, fall).

Tanenbaum qualified for the Maccabiah Games by winning his bracket at 60 kilograms during team trials in Cleveland, Ohio, last May.

Also in July, Tanenbaum earned a gold medal at the Grand Prix Munich Memorial Tournament.

As a true freshman at Cal Poly last season, Tanenbaum was 6-15 overall, wrestlign at 125 pounds. He is from Leawood, Kansas.

The World Maccabiah Games is the third-largest sporting event in existence. It is held every four years in Israel and brings together Jewish competitors from over 60 different nations.
