USA Wrestling has published a list of the Grappling athletes who have qualified to compete in the Dollamur Grappling World Team Trials set for Sierra College in Rocklin, Calif., Sept. 13-14.
Athletes earned their spot in the Dollamur Grappling World Team Trials by participating in USA Wrestling's Grappling World Team Trials Qualifying Series during the spring and summer months.
All nine of the athletes who won the 2007 Grappling World Team Trials have earned an automatic spot in this year's event, and will be seeking to make their second U.S. Grappling World Team.
The champions at this event qualify for the U.S. team to compete in the Grappling World Championships in Lucerne, Switzerland on December 20-21.
No Limits MMA, the sponsor of USA Wrestling's Grappling World Team, will fund the expenses of the champions to attend the Grappling World Championships.
The U.S. will send two athletes per weight class to the World Championships. The second athlete in each weight class will be determined based upon the results of the Dollamur Grappling World Team Trials. The second athlete in each weight class will have to self-fund their trip to Switzerland as part of the U.S. team.
The United States dominated the 2007 Grappling World Championships, held during the World Wrestling Games in Antalya, Turkey last September, winning all nine individual gold medals.
