Congratulations to U15 Pan Am champions Faith Bartoszek and Haakon Peterson! The pair of wrestlers from Wisconsin were part of the Team USA delegation that swept team titles across all three styles over the weekend in Mexico City, Mexico. 

The pair of wrestlers earned their spots on the team earlier this year—Peterson with back-to-back freestyle and Greco titles at U15 Nationals in the Dells, and Bartoszek with a first-place performance at Women’s Nationals (Texas) in the U15 division. 

Peterson won the 16U Greco title in Fargo this summer as well as placing runner up in the freestyle division. Bartoszek doubled up as an All-American in the 16U and Junior divisions at Fargo.  

Congratulations Team USA!
