While the summer season wraps up for Wisconsin athletes in the age-group divisions, all of the team selection events that took place in the spring are kicking off United World Wrestling’s World Championship Series. Wisconsin will see home-state wrestlers representing Team USA at the U20, U23 and Senior World Championships at events from August - October.

In August, Connor (92 kg) and Cole (125 kg) Mirasola are slated to compete together at the U20 World Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria!
