The US Open Events in Vegas last weekend kicked off the 2022 team selection criteria process for Team USA’s World and Pan Am teams.

The men’s U17 division served as the U.S. World Team Trials, and all finals were a best of three series. Koy Hopke, a sophomore and two-time WIAA state champion from Amery, earned his place on the U17 World Team in both freestyle and Greco-Roman at 110 kilograms. Hopke closed out both best of three series in two matches. The U17 World Championships are scheduled for July 25-31 in Rome, Italy.

More champions from Wisconsin include Greco Olympians Jesse Thielke (SRGR 63KG) and Ben Provisor (SRGR 82KG), Benji Peak (SRGR 72KG), Mitchell Mesenbrink (U20FS 70KG), Declan Koch (U15GR 52KG), Easton Kammerud (UWW Futures 52KG), Colton Hamilll (UWW Futures 28KG) and Maximo Xolo (UWW Futures 57KG).

The top 8 age-eligible finishers in the U15, U17 and U20 age-groups automatically qualified for Fargo.
