The United States walked away with 20 medals and two-team titles in both disciplines at the 2017 Pan American Championships in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Cadet age-group requires athletes to be the ages of 15-17, born in 2001-2003. The event will feature men’s freestyle and Greco-Roman.
At the Cadet Pan American Trials athletes will earn points for competing in both Greco-Roman and freestyle. The highest point value (both styles combined) will earn the right to compete in both Greco-Roman and freestyle at the 2018 Cadet Pan American Championships.
Athletes that placed top four in both styles with the highest point value from the East Stroudsburg event have first criteria. If there is a tie in points, the athlete with the most pins in the least amount of time will earn the spot.
In addition, if there are no athletes that placed in the top four of both styles, the spot will be awarded to the champion from either Greco-Roman or freestyle that has earned the most falls in the least amount of time. If there are no pins to break a tie, the second criteria used will be most tech falls in the least amount of time.
