The 14U National Duals return to the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center at Oaks in Oaks, Pa., June 11-14. The tournament will feature dual meet competition between state association teams for boys in the two Olympic disciplines, men’s freestyle and Greco-Roman.

The returning champion in both styles is from the host state, Pennsylvania Blue, which won both disciplines last summer in Oaks.

The event begins with Greco-Roman action on Wednesday and Thursday, followed by freestyle action on Friday and Saturday.

In 2024, Pennsylvania Blue won the Greco-Roman team title, with a 55-17 win over Illinois in the championship dual meet. Wisconsin placed third, defeating Ohio Red, 45-33 in their medal match. Fifth place went to Iowa, a 55-23 winner of Michigan Blue in the final rounds. Minnesota Blue captured seventh place, after defeating Utah, 50-29.

Illinois finished fifth, stopping New Jersey, 48-30 in their dual meet. Claiming seventh was Minnesota Blue, a 44-36 winner of Ohio Grey.

The first day of each style will feature the pool competition, where teams will compete against a number of teams in preliminary pools. Based upon the results of the day one preliminary pool competition, the top teams from each pool will advance to the Gold/Silver pool on day two, which determines the top eight teams in the tournament. There will be three other placement pools which determine the final team placements in the tournament: Bronze/Copper, Red/Blue and Green/Yellow).

An All-Tournament Team, featuring athletes who go undefeated in their individual matches in a specific style, will be announced after each tournament.

Heading into the tournament, there were 38 state association teams registered in freestyle and 30 in Greco-Roman. The teams will be separated based upon PIN ratings, with the official seeds being announced right before the competition.
