As we head into the 2019 USMC Junior and 16U Nationals in Fargo, we take a look back at all of the 2019 USA Wrestling Regional champions. We start today with a list of the Junior Regional champions in all three disciplines, Greco-Roman, men’s freestyle and women’s freestyle.

The Junior Regionals is not only a strong indication of an athlete’s ability to compete at a national level, but it is also a part of the separation criteria for the USMC Junior and 16U Nationals.

We can expect this year’s Regional champions to be top contenders for national titles and All-American honors in Fargo next week.
