USA Wrestling’s U.S. Future Olympian Rankings updated through Folkstyle Nationals

The U.S. Future Olympian Rankings have been updated through the popular ASICS Folkstyle National Championships. Wrestlers in each division and weight class should be prepared to add their point totals as we approach the Western Junior Regional Championships April 7-11 in Las Vegas.

The U.S. Future Olympian Ranking program is designed to recognize the performance of America's most talented wrestlers, based upon actual results in major USA Wrestling events.

Included in the point system will be USA Wrestling events in the following age-group divisions: Intermediate, Novice, Schoolboy, Middle School, Cadet and Junior. In each age division, specific national and regional events in freestyle, Greco-Roman and folkstyle wrestling will be used to score points.
