Welcome to a brand new season, and the 2024 Olympic year! The Wisconsin Wrestling Federation will be hosting a women’s freestyle camp series that will run from Sept. to Apr. at various locations across the state.

These camps are open to all Wisconsin 14U, 16U, and Junior women with a USA Wrestling athlete membership, and will be led by coaches on the WWF national team staff. This is a great opportunity to sharpen your freestyle skills, connect, and grow with Team Wisconsin. The cost to attend is $25 per athlete, per camp. Register here, or by selecting the links below. 

New in 2023-24! Each camp this year will have a focused discussion topic to help you level up in all areas of your wrestling career—including guidance for planning your season, picking your best competition weight, proper nutrition practices, and creating a college recruiting profile.

A schedule with key competition dates for the spring season will be posted shortly. 

NOTE: 2024 information will be updated as it becomes available. 

What is Fargo
The Junior and 16U National Championships, aka Fargo, is a high-caliber USA Wrestling national event where the top freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestlers are tested against the rest of the nation individually and as respective state teams. As the Wisconsin affiliate to USA Wrestling, the WWF brings a unified team of athletes to compete each season.

NEW qualification process for WFS
All wrestlers must qualify to compete at Fargo. Dramatic growth has brought the WFS programs into alignment with the MFS and GR programs for qualification standards.

The WWF can bring four (4) athletes per weight class, per division. To qualify for the Wisconsin National Team, wrestlers must auto-qualify nationally (opportunities listed below), place top three at the 2023 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 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)
