2024 U.S. Olympic Team Trials Qualifiers, as of January 16
by Gary Abbott, USA Wrestling
USA Wrestling has updated its list of U.S. Olympic Team Trials qualifiers.
There are 181 athletes now qualified for the 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Wrestling, set for Penn State, April 19-20.
A large number of athletes were added to the list from the U.S. Senior Nationals in Fort Worth, Texas, December 15-17. The top five finishers per weight category at the 2023 Senior Nationals earned a spot in the U.S. Olympic Team Trials. (Note: An athlete must have placed in top five. If one of the top five was already qualified, no additional athletes beyond the top five were added).
USA Wrestling will update this list after each of the Olympic Team Trials qualifying events are held. There remain a few more opportunities in 2024 for athletes to qualify for this list.
.To review the Olympic Games Procedures in each of the three disciplines, please visit the Team Selection Criteria page on TheMat.com.
