With the completion of the U.S. Senior Open in Las Vegas on April 29, we have updated the list of athletes who have qualified for the 2023 Senior World Team Trials Challenge Tournament, which will be held at Discovery Canyon High School in Colorado Springs, Colo., May 20-21.

We list the qualifiers at the 17 weight classes for the World Team Trials Challenge Tournament. This includes 10 Greco-Roman weight classes, four women’s freestyle weight classes and three men’s freestyle weight classes. The winners of this tournament in each weight class qualify for Final X in Newark, N.J., June 10, where they face the 2023 U.S. Open champion in a best-of-three series to determine the Senior World Team member.

Currently, there are 145 athletes who have qualified to compete at the Senior World Team Trials Challenge Tournament at one of these 17 weight classes. This includes 83 in Greco-Roman, 38 in women’s freestyle and 24 in men’s freestyle.

However, athletes who have competed in other weight classes and still meet the criteria can register and compete in the World Team Trials Challenge Tournament. USA Wrestling will update this information after the qualified athletes from other weight classes register to compete.

IMPORTANT FOR ATHLETES/COACHES: All athletes are asked to register for the World Team Trials Challenge Tournament by Wednesday, May 3 at 11:00 p.m. MT. This is the end of early registration, which cost just $75, a $50 discount. Any one who registers after this day must pay the regular entry fee of $125. Another key date to remember is Sunday, May 14 at 11:00 p.m. MT, the deadline for registration in order to receive a seed.
