Cadet National Duals set for this weekend in York, Pa.

The second leg of USA Wrestling’s age-group National Duals is set to begin Wednesday as the Cadet-level athletes will take to the mat to show what their state is made of in York, Pa.

State-level teams of Cadet athletes, who are 15-17 years old, will compete in Greco-Roman and freestyle dual meets all weekend. Greco action will start Wednesday, with the finals taking place on Thursday, while freestyle will compete in preliminary rounds on Friday with finals on Saturday.

At last year’s Cadet National Duals, Minnesota edged out the Pennsylvania Blue team, 37-35, for Greco gold, while Illinois outlasted Pennsylvania Blue, 40-34, in freestyle.

Finishing behind Minnesota and Pennsylvania in Greco were third-place Illinois, fourth-place Michigan Red, fifth-place Oklahoma, sixth-place Washington, seventh-place New Jersey Red and eighth-place Missouri Red.

Placing in freestyle behind Illinois and Pennsylvania were New Jersey Red at third, Minnesota Storm at fourth, Iowa Gold at fifth, Michigan Red at sixth, Washington at seventh and California at eighth.

This weekend’s National Duals will be broadcast live by Trackcast.

This event will be followed later this month by the Junior National Duals in Tulsa, Okla., June 20-24.
