PARIS

A day after Nico Megaludis picked up a gold medal, former Penn State wrestler David Taylor followed suit at the Paris International.

Taylor won the 86-kilogram freestyle weight class Sunday, topping the United States’ Richard Perry 8-5 in the finals.

He gave up a total of seven points the entire tournament. The other two points came in the semifinals in a 12-2 technical fall of France’s Akhmed Aibuev.

Taylor tacked on two other technical falls en route to the finals.
