Competition portraits of 2021 Senior National champions Dymond Guilford (W), Alec Ortiz (GR) and Mark Hall (FS) by Sam Janicki.

The 2022 U.S. Open Wrestling Championships, set for the South Point Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, April 27-May 1 will feature competition in numerous age divisions and styles.

The 2021 USA Wrestling season was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and many events were held during a non-traditional time of the year and in a variety of locations. This year, 14 different championships will be held at the South Point under one roof.

Wonder who won these tournaments last year? We pulled that list together for all of the competitions which will be hosted in Las Vegas this year. In some of the age-group events, there are 2021 champions who are no longer age-eligible. However, let’s see how many of these 2021 champions are able to repeat in 2022.
