One of my favorite age-level tournaments of the year has arrived - the Junior World Team Trials. The nation’s best high school upperclassmen and college underclassmen will put it on the line for a chance to represent their country overseas.

The U23 Nationals and U20 World Team Trials brackets will be both massive (mostly the U23 ones) and stacked with some of the most talented and credentialed college wrestlers in the country.

With the NCAA season officially getting underway this week, many are looking forward to the early season collegiate open tournaments for a first look at their favorite college wrestlers. However, over the last several years we have also seen some of the nation’s top high school wrestlers throw their hat in the ring to see where they stack up against college competition. This weekend, we will see many high schoolers in action at both the Clarion and Southeast Open tournaments.
