USA Wrestling’s regional events are contested in Freestyle and Greco-Roman, the only two styles of wrestling at the Olympic level. Freestyle wrestling is exciting, creative, and dynamic because points can be scored from almost anywhere. The most recent Olympic wrestling gold medals were won by freestyle wrestlers, Kyle Snyder and Helen Maroulis in 2016. Greco-Roman wrestling is known for powerful lifts and big throws, as all attacks must be made above the waist. Current USA Wrestling Chief of Donor and Alumni Relations Steve Fraser was a gold medalist in 1984, and Rulon Gardner won gold in 2000. 

 

Automatic qualifiers at the 50th Annual USA Wrestling Junior & 16U National Championships, will be granted to the top 4 at all USA Wrestling regionals (placement must be in the same age and style), and top 8 in the UWW U15 Nationals, UWW Cadet Nationals and UWW Junior Nationals (placement must be in same style).
 


Please reach out to your state chairperson on how to qualify for their state's 50th Annual USA Wrestling Junior & 16U National Championships (July 17-24, 2020) teams. 

 

Wrestlers must qualify to enter this event by competing in their designated regional or with approval from the wrestler's state chairperson! Wrestlers can compete in as many regionals as they choose, but wrestlers can ONLY QUALIFY FOR KIDS NATIONALS BY PARTICIPATING IN THEIR DESIGNATED REGIONAL. 

 

*Wrestlers may obtain permission to attend Kids Nationals from their state chairperson if they are not able to attend their designated regional. We require the state chairperson to specify the lowest weight class the wrestler shall be eligible for. 
 

Please be aware that wrestlers are not allowed to DROP in weight class from the regional to the Kids nationals. Whatever weight class the wrestler weigh-ins at for the regional (not necessarily competes at, but what the scale actually reads is the lowest weight class the wrestler is eligible to compete at for the nationals.  

 

At Kids Nationals, provided a wrestler has qualified for Kids Nationals or been granted a waiver to compete, he/she may not compete lower than the lowest weight weighed in at any regional.
