Teams from across the U.S. compete for individual and team titles in men’s freestyle, women’s freestyle and Greco-Roman. Last year Wisconsin had 38 All-Americans at Fargo, including six champions and six runners-up. Men’s freestyle tied the national record for most junior champions in a single year and had the best team result in Wisconsin history with their 2nd place finish overall. All six Wisconsin teams placed in the top 10. Registration opens here on May 8th.

Athletes can auto-qualify by placing at the national-level USA Wrestling events below, or by placing in the top three at the Freestyle or Greco State Championships. There will be a minimum of 1 spot open for wrestle-offs at the pre-Fargo camps in River Falls.
