April features a handful of local freestyle and Greco tournaments, as well as major national events—Womens Nationals and the US Open—that mark the beginning of most domestic World and Pan Am team selection processes for Team USA. Those events, and highlights for the month, are outlined below.

Sanctioned Events in WI
The WWF online 
calendar is updated with sanctioned events as they are submitted. If the calendar is showing up blank follow the steps here.

*WWF staff will run FS & GR technique sessions prior to the beginning of the starred local events above to highlight the Olympic styles, and to share more about the opportunities for our athletes within the WWF programs. These clinics are open to all attendees of the events.

Monthly Meeting
Join us 
online via Zoom on April 19th at 7PM for our monthly membership meeting. We will focus on qualifying opportunities from the WWF FS & GR state championships, regional events and the US Open, as well as an overview of Fargo information. Last month Scott Kluever and Neysa Bianchi shared information about the National Duals team selection criteria, dates, and cost. Notes and replay from last month are posted here. 

Beginners Freestyle and Greco State
The WWF is hosting a true 
beginner freestyle and Greco state tournament in Fon du Lac, April 29th. This tournament is open only to those athletes that have not competed in the WWF freestyle and Greco state championships before. The event will run alongside an open freestyle and Greco tournament and lands the weekend before the Wisconsin state tournament so that athletes can join us in the Dells if they enjoyed competing in FS/GR.

Website Updates
The website has been updated with information for the 2023 season. This includes dates, qualifying procedures and cost information for the dual teams and Fargo on each of the respective athlete pages. Links:
