Gear Store FAQ

  • Are these the singlets athletes purchase for Fargo? Yes. The WWF releases new singlets every other year, with the latest update in 2024. Athletes representing Team Wisconsin at the 16U and Junior National Championships in Fargo are responsible for purchasing the Team Wisconsin uniform package (at minimum, a red and blue singlet). Qualified wrestlers that do not wish to purchase a new set of singlets may use a generic reversible singlet offered by the WWF coaching staff. Athletes who purchased singlets in 2024 do NOT need to purchase them again this year.
  • Do athletes on the National Dual teams need to purchase singlets? No. Athletes on the National Dual teams are provided singlets from the WWF coaching staff for the duration of competition.
  • Will there be another chance to order gear? Yes. The gear store will open for a second wave of orders after the WWF Freestyle and Greco State Championships in May.

National Duals

16U National Duals, June 10th-14th in Herriman, Utah
National Duals are age-level USA Wrestling events featuring some of the best competition on teams from across the country. The 16U National Dual team will compete in Herriman, Utah, June 10th-14th.

The MFS and GR 16U National Dual Team is determined by the highest placer at freestyle and Greco state. Interested athletes will be asked to complete an interest form after competition on May 3rd or 4th. Wisconsin will bring one team for each freestyle and Greco this season. Cost: $650.


Fargo

The Junior & 16U National Championships will be July 12-19 in Fargo, ND.

The WWF is able to bring four (4) athletes per weight class for the MFS and GR programs. To qualify for the Wisconsin National Team, wrestlers must auto-qualify nationally (opportunities listed below), place top three at the 2025 WWF Freestyle/Greco State Championships (same weight and style), or win a wrestle-off at the pre-Fargo camps in River Falls. A minimum of one wrestle-off spot is reserved at each weight class per age group and style. Since national auto-qualifiers do not count against the allotted number the state can bring, any auto-qualified wrestler that places in the top three at WWF freestyle/Greco state opens up an additional wrestle-off spot at camp.

Auto-qualifier opportunities:

  • Current year 1st-6th Place at USA Wrestling Regionals (placement must be in the same age and style)
  • Current year 1st-8th Place at U15 Nationals (placement must be in the same style)
  • Current year 1st-8th Place at U17 Nationals (placement must be in the same style)
  • Current year 1st-8th Place at U20 Nationals (placement must be in the same style)
  • Previous year 1st-8th Place at Junior Nationals (placement must be in the same style)
  • Previous year 1st-8th Place at 16U Nationals (placement must be in the same style)
  • Previous year age-level World Team member (must be in the same style)

Cost & Registration: Freestyle or Greco (1 style) $550. Both styles $725. Athlete fees will cover hotel, transportation and registration. The cost does NOT include the uniform package/singlets. Registration will open in May.
