All event details and the schedule can be found at usawrestlingevents.com/event/2300009102
Girls Cadet/Junior Nationals (Fargo) Qualifications Process:
Important note for 16U and Junior girls: For the first time, each state has a limit on the number of girls who can enter the Junior/16U Nationals, the same as for boys. There can only be four wrestlers per age, per style, per weight class on a state team. However, this will be the first year that the top six girls at the 16U and Junior Regional for girls qualify for their state team for Fargo (which is in addition to the four per-weight rule). Girls who wish to compete in Fargo are highly encouraged to compete at Regionals, in order to make sure that they can compete at the Junior/16U Nationals.
The top 4 placers at the State Tournament on May 13th in each age/weight/style will qualify for Fargo. However, anyone who is an automatic qualifier does not count against our 4 spots (example: if an auto qualifier wins state, the next 4 below will qualify). Auto qualifiers include:
You must wrestle the same weight at Freestyle/Greco State as you do at Fargo. This tournament will have a +3lb allowance.
***A table will be set up to indicate your commitment for the trip and pay your deposit.***
If a top 4 placer does NOT choose to attend Fargo or does not pay their deposit on time, the next highest placer at state will get the opportunity to go.
Each wrestler qualifying will receive an email (sent to the registration email) with payment instructions.
Southeast Regionals May 26-28 - Last Chance qualifier
Since SE Regionals is after state, this will provide additional ways to qualify. Either you can place top 6 and qualify yourself. OR someone else can place top 6 and that will open up a spot for the state because it adds to our auto-qualifiers. Placement must be in the same age, style and weight as you will go at Fargo.
Boys Cadet/Junior Nationals (Fargo) Qualification Process:
Each state is limited to 4 wrestlers, per age group, weight class, and style (i.e. someone may qualify in Greco, but not freestyle).
The top 4 placers at the State Tournament on May 13th in each age/weight/style will qualify for Fargo. However, anyone who is an automatic qualifier does not count against our 4 spots (example: if an auto qualifier wins state, the next 4 below will qualify). Auto qualifiers include:
