Happy New Year from USA Wrestling!!!
During this Olympic year, USA Wrestling is very excited about its women's wrestling program. Not only are our nation's top women wrestlers training for spots on the U.S. Olympic Team, but also our talented young women athletes are working hard to be the champions of the future. We invite you to attend USA Wrestling competitions and training camps in the year ahead.
There is a brand new event this year that the entire women's wrestling community is excited about:
The first USA Wrestling Girls Folkstyle National Championships, held in Oklahoma City, Okla., March 14-16
This competitive national championship event will offer folkstyle competition in high school (grades 9-12), middle school (grades 6-8) and elementary divisions (grades 1-5). Oklahoma City University and its head coach Archie Randall will present a first-class wrestling tournament in the tradition of USA Wrestling's quality event presentations.
This event is being held alongside the annual Women's Collegiate National Championships in freestyle. The nation's best women's college wrestlers will be competing. In addition, the women's college wrestling coaches will be in attendance to watch and scout the wrestlers in the Girls Folkstyle Nationals. This is a great opportunity to be seen by our college wrestling programs.
Four-time World Champion and U.S. Olympic Team Coach Tricia Saunders will conduct a free women's wrestling clinic, sponsored by Body Bar Systems, USA Wrestling's Women's National Team sponsor. This is a must attend for any young lady who is serious about their wrestling future.

A change this year will be that there will be a women's freestyle division held at the University National Championships in Akron, Ohio, April 10-13.In recent years, the University Women's event was held with the other age-groups during the Body Bar Nationals. This year, it has been added to the men's division in Akron. This is a qualifying event for the World University Championships to be held July 9-13 in Greece. This is also a qualifying event for the U.S. Olympic Team Trials and is a must for all University-age women.
