Excel has training sites in both Iowa and Colorado. This past weekend, 45 wrestlers from these programs have qualified for their high school state championships, with 26 in Colorado and 19 in Iowa.

The Excel Program is geared toward wrestlers with a high commitment level, looking to go on and wrestle on the college level. In both states, wrestlers from 12-18 years old train with the Excel coaching staff.
