Six U.S. World Team berths are up for grabs this week at the U.S. Non-Olympic Weight World Team Trials at the world famous New York Athletic Club in Manhattan, New York City, N.Y., Nov. 10-12.

United World Wrestling has added a Non-Olympic Weight World Championships in Budapest, Hungary, on December 10-11. No athletes who competed in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, will be allowed to enter this event, but a new opportunity has been created for top Senior-level athletes to compete for World medals.

The Non-Olympic weights are Greco-Roman 71 kg and 80 kg, men's freestyle 61 kg and 70 kg and women's freestyle 55 kg and 60 kg. Team USA is expected to have a strong entry in each of these weight classes, with some very competitive action expected in this event.

There will be a best-of-three championship series held in the Non-Olympic weight classes, which is the format for World Team Trials and Olympic Team Trials events.

Based upon the Trials procedures approved in men’s freestyle, 2015 World bronze medalist James Green (Lincoln, Neb./Titan Mercury WC) advances directly to the Championship Series at 70 kg/154 lbs. Based upon the approved Trials procedures in women’s freestyle and Greco-Roman, no athlete will advance to the Championship Series.

The Trials will be held alongside the 2016 Bill Farrell Memorial International, which will have competition in the 18 Olympic weight classes, with athletes from more than a dozen countries expected to compete.

This preview will include information on athletes who have already registered to compete, as well as athletes who are expected to compete. Online registration ends on Election Day, November 8. Walkups are allowed but not many are expected. USA Wrestling did a pre-event ranking in the Non-Olympic weights, and those athletes will also be considered as we work our way through the field.

Men's freestyle - 61 kg/134 lbs.
The intriguing entry is No. 1 ranked Logan Stieber, the four-time NCAA champion and past Junior World silver medalist, who is dropping in weight after a number of years at 65 kg. Stieber comes off a summer as the training partner for Olympian Frank Molinaro. In the Olympic Trials, he lost to Molinaro and Jimmy Kennedy, who is moving up to 70 kg for this event. If Stieber is strong after his weight loss, he will be a very tough opponent.

Ranked at No. 2 was veteran B.J. Futrell, who has success at this weight, but he will not be dropping down, and is expected to enter the Bill Farrell event instead up at 65 kg. That opens an opportunity for tough Tyler Graff, who was third at the Olympic Trials at 57 kg, with his only loss to Daniel Dennis, the Olympian. Graff had tech. fall wins in the Olympic Trials over Nahshon Garrett and Alan Waters, two of those who have registered for the Trials.

Garrett, the 2016 NCAA champion, had a nice showing at Olympic Trials, with his only losses to two-time World Team member Tony Ramos and to Graff. Now training at Arizona State, Garrett has grown to the point that 61 kg may be his ideal weight. The preliminary registration lists veteran Jayson Ness, who competed well at the Olympic Trials at 65 kg, in this weight class. Ness will be big, strong and a tough out at 61 kg.

A few of the athletes who have not yet registered but are expected to compete will bring something to the mix. Cody Brewer, who won an NCAA title at Oklahoma, won an exhibition match earlier this year against Ramos and is now training at Northwestern. Kendric Maple, also an NCAA champ for the Sooners, is now in Purdue and capable of a strong run here. Busy with the college season, but still very capable at this weight if they show up, include Junior World medalist Stevan Micic of Michigan and 2015 NCAA champion Nathan Tomasello.

The rest of this field includes some young talents and a few others who have been knocking at the door for a while. Josh Kindig, the former Oklahoma State star, is a talented freestyler who is now training in North Carolina under Coleman Scott and Tony Ramos. Andrew Hochstrasser, the tall and tough veteran, could be a real hammer at this weight class instead of dropping all the way down to 57 kg. Nick Dardanes is one of the tough twins that competed at Minnesota and are seeking freestyle success. Adding depth at this weight are Darrius Little, Joey Lazor and Alex Radsky, Young star Nick Lee is entered after a strong freestyle career on the Junior level.

Entered at Olympic weight class
2. B.J. Futrell, Ann Arbor, Mich. (Titan Mercury WC)

Men's freestyle - 70 kg/154 lbs.
James Green, who won a World bronze medal in 2015, advances directly to the championship finals based upon the approved Trials procedures in men’s freestyle. He struggled in 2016 when he dropped to 65 kg, but bounced right back up the 70 kg, where he won a World Cup gold medal and has been competing in a number of overseas events. Green only needs to win two bouts against the Challenge Tournament champion to return to the World Championships and go for another medal.

This weight is loaded with talent, some moving up from 65 kg, others dropping down from 74 kg from the Olympic year. 2014 World Team member Jimmy Kennedy, an experienced and successful international freestyler, goes in with a No. 2 ranking. Kennedy suffered tough losses in the Olympic Trials to Reece Humphrey and Zain Retherford at 65 kg, neither of whom are entered in New York. Over the last few years, he has big wins over many of those in this field.

Add in tough Jordan Oliver here, who has been on the USA Freestyle National Team in recent years at 65 kg, reaching the Trials finals against now retired Brent Metcalf. Oliver may be even better up at 70 kg, where he has won some international medals. He won a gold at the Bill Farrell International last year with big wins over Molinaro and Stieber, and also beat Kennedy at the 2015 World Team Trials.

Nobody is sure where two-time NCAA champion Isaiah Martinez will be seeded in this field because he does not have head-to-head or even common opponents with many of these men. Martinez will take a week off from competing as a junior at Illinois to seek a World Team berth. He won the University Nationals last year and has shown strong freestyle skills, although he is not yet tested against this veteran field. We will just have to wait and see.

If you look at the others in the field, you see a lot of experience and a lot of talent. Kellen Russell has been a U.S. Open runner-up and has gone back and forth with many of these guys. Adam Hall made his Olympic run up at 74 kg and had some strong showings, with his only Trials losses coming to Alex Dieringer. Nazar Kulchytskyy, a Div. III star in college, but a freestyle wizard, owns some wins over many in the field. Throw in Kevin LeValley, who competed at 74 kg like Hall, but also has some serious talent and many battles against those who have registered. This should lead to some very tough early round matches, and we should expect some mild upsets since nobody has competed very much since last spring.

Two guys who haven’t registered but could be tough are Jason Welch and Chase Pami, both who have paid their dues and are capable of winning if they enter. Don’t forget the young and motivated who will compete and try to make a name for themselves. Vlad Dombrovskiy could have an impact here, but is listed at 74 kg in the registration. Thomas Gantt makes his big-time freestyle debut after a strong career at NC State. Former Penn State star Dylan Alton, who has not done freestyle for years, was a top-level star in this style while in high school. There are others such as Hayden Hidlay, Markus Scheidel and Mitch Finesilver who bring skill and motivation to this field. Like many wrestling fans, we can’t wait for this one to get started on Friday.

10. Vladislav Dombrovskiy, Colorado Springs, Colo. (U.S. Army WCAP)

Greco-Roman - 71 kg/156.5 lbs.
The Greco-Roman field is a bit smaller than the men’s freestyle, at least in the pre-registration, but there should be some very good battles. With the retirement of Olympian and two-time World medalist Justin Lester, who competed at 71 kg at the 2015 World Championships, this weight opens some possibilities to some new talent at the World level.

The only entry at this time who has competed on a USA World Team is Ellis Coleman, who was a 2012 Olympian and enters with a No. 3 USA Wrestling ranking. Coleman spent much of the last Olympic cycle hurt, but did come back strong with a U.S. Open title in December 2015 at 66 kg. His losses at the U.S. Olympic Trials were to eventual champion RaVaughn Perkins, then in the third-place bout to Alejandro Sancho. Perkins is not entered to compete due to health, but Sancho is in this field and ready to go.

Getting a No. 1 ranking going in is Pat Smith, who was second in the Olympic Trials at 66 kg behind Perkins. Smith has been close in the past, also sitting at No. 2 at 71 kg behind Lester the previous season. This could be his best weight class, and he has a number of international medals to show for it. He has shown steady improvement since finishing his college career at Minnesota, and should feel ready for the big show.

Sancho has been as high as No. 2 on the Greco-Roman Team USA ladder in the past, and also has socked away tremendous international experience. He reached national prominence at the NMU-OTS program up in Northern Michigan. Like Smith, his only loss at the Olympic Trials was to Perkins. Sancho had a loss to Smith at the U.S. Open in December 2015.

On paper, Smith, Sancho and Coleman are the big three at this weight class, but there are others seeking to knock them off and make a name for themselves. Alec Ortiz, who like Smith wrestled in college for Minnesota, has a great Greco-Roman pedigree. He made the Olympic Trials at 74 kg by winning the Last Chance Qualifier and won a bout at that weight at the Trials in Iowa City. He was fourth at the 2015 U.S. Open at 71 kg, with losses to Lester and to Kendrick Sanders, who is going at 80 kg this weekend.

Young stars include Anthonie Linares of the NMU-OTS and Cody Pack, who is now training at the U.S. Olympic Training Center. Linares did not reach the Olympic Trials at 66 kg placing second in the Last Chance Qualifier to Marco Lara, who is not yet registered to this event. Linares has been competitive on the Senior level for a few years now. Pack, who competed in college at South Dakota State, doesn’t have any recent Greco results, but was an All-American in the style back at the Junior Nationals. He does have some age-group freestyle medals to his record.

We will have to see if Clay Frost, Joshua Russo or any late registrations can make an impact. There are a number of ranked athletes like Lara, Michael Hooker and Jamel Johnson, all from the Army, who could be a factor if they enter at the door.

Entered at 71 kg/156.5 lbs.
1. Pat Smith, Minneapolis, Minn. (Minnesota Storm)
2. Alejandro Sancho, Miami, Fla. (NYAC/NMU)

8. Jamel Johnson, Colorado Springs, Colo. (U.S. Army WCAP)

Entered at Olympic Weight Class in Bill Farrell
9. Austin Morrow, Wenatchee, Wash. (NYAC/NMU)

Greco-Roman - 80 kg/176 lbs.
There should be a real dogfight at the top of this weight class, as the top four ranked athletes coming in are entered, and all are very competitive on the Senior level. Entering with a No. 1 ranking is 2011 World Team member Cheney Haight, who made his Olympic run down at 75 kg last year. Haight won a gold at the 2016 Pan American Championships at 80 kg, then dropped for the Olympic Trials, where he reached the finals of the Challenge Tournament but lost to Geordan Speiller.

The 2015 World Team member at this weight was Patrick Martinez, who won some bouts in Las Vegas and showed great international promise. He jumped up to 85 kg for his Olympic run, where he lost his first bout in the Olympic Trials to eventual Olympian Ben Provisor and ended up fourth. Martinez has been among the most active wrestlers in the last two years in terms of international bouts, and would like nothing better than earn the trip to Budapest and get the medal he was close to winning back in Las Vegas.

Coming down from 85 kg is tough Jon Anderson, who like Martinez did his Olympic run at 85 kg. Anderson was No. 2 at 85 kg in 2015 behind World Team member Jordan Holm, and came home with a Pan American Games gold in 2015. He was knocked out of the Olympic Trials by veteran star Jake Clark. Anderson was also a National Team member when he was down at 75 kg and battling Olympian Andy Bisek often. At this weight, he could be a monster, based upon the power he showed at 85 kg.

One of the most talented athletes in Greco-Roman, or at a minimum the most exciting to watch, is Kendrick Sanders, who tried out for the Olympics at 75 kg. His loss at the Olympic Trials came to Haight, and then he withdrew. Sanders has wrestled at 71 kg, 75 kg and 80 kg in recent seasons, and seems to be able to compete well regardless of weight class. In 2015, he beat Justin Lester in the finals of the Bill Farrell International at 75 kg. Don’t keep your eyes off him as he is capable of a big throw at any time in any match.

Jon Jay Chavez, an age-group World medalist in Greco-Roman, is now at college at Cornell, and has registered for this event. There is strong Greco training up there in Ithaca, and you can expect that this long-time Greco specialist will be ready this week. Ryan Hope has been on the Senior Greco-Roman circuit for years, and should not be overlooked. Michael Brant has shown improvement in his Greco career with the Marines.

Dillon Cowan, who ranked at No. 2 on the National Team two years ago, is not entered, but would be a factor if he joins this crowd. Three young stars who are ranked, but are listed at 75 kg at the Bill Farrell, are Kamal Bey, Jesse Porter and Mason Manville. If they chose to move up, they could make a run at the World Team as well.

Entered at 80 kg/176 lbs.
1. Cheney Haight, Colorado Springs, Colo. (NYAC/USOTC)
2. Patrick Martinez, Colorado Springs, Colo. (U.S. Army WCAP)
3. Jon Anderson, Colorado Springs, Colo. (U.S. Army WCAP)
4. Kendrick Sanders, Homestead, Fla. (NYAC/NMU)
9. Barrett Stanghill, Philipsburg, Mont. (NYAC/NMU)

Jon Jay Chavez, Ithaca, N.Y. (unattached)

6. Jesse Porter, Clifton Park, N.Y.(NYAC/NMU)
10. Mason Manville, Colorado Springs, Colo. (Minnesota Storm)

Women's freestyle at 55 kg/121 lbs.
The top five ranked athletes at 55 kg have entered for a run at the Senior World title. Coming in at No. 1 is 2012 Olympian Kelsey Campbell, who won the 2016 Olympic Trials at 58 kg but did not compete because the weight class did not get qualified for Rio. Campbell made her Olympic team down at 55 kg, and beat Helen Maroulis in the Trials finals that year. Campbell has also competed in past World Championships, and reached a medal match the year she placed fifth. She brings vast experience to the Trials, and seeks another shot at the world’s best athletes.

2016 U.S. Olympic Team Trials runner-up Whitney Conder was beaten in the finals by Maroulis, who went on to win the Olympic title. Conder has competed in three World Championships, and is strong enough at this weight class to be a big-time factor. She was a 2015 Pan American Games champion, and has wins over any of the challengers who are coming in from 53 kg. She has not faced Campbell in recent times, so there is no way to handicap that match if it comes to be.

Michaela Hutchison has been a National Team member in recent years, and made her run for the Olympics down at 53 kg. Her losses in the Olympic Trials were to Conder and to Katherine Fulp-Allen, who is not registered to compete in New York. Hutchison won the U.S. Open in Dec. 2015, beating eventual 48 kg star Haley Augello in the finals. Hutchison has talent and experience, and has paid her dues at the highest levels.

Ranked at No. 4 is Sarah Hildebrandt, who also did an Olympic run at 53 kg. Her Olympic Trials losses were to Fulp-Allen and Hutchison. Up at 55 kg, she was No. 2 to Maroulis in 2014. She has been a Pan American champion on the Senior level, and has extensive international matches on her resume.

The No. 5 ranked Jacarra Winchester did not get the chance to compete at the Olympic Trials, missing the spring season. She came back in the summer to win the Canada Cup and make a medal match at the Grand Prix of Spain. Winchester was No. 4 at 55 kg at the 2015 World Team Trials, with losses to Maroulis and Hildebrandt.

Of the rest of the field, Deanna Betterman is by far the most experienced and successful. She placed fifth at the Senior World Championships two times when at the top of her game. Last year, she was at 53 kg, where she lost to Hutchison and Cady Chessin. Another experienced wrestler on the registration list is former college star Brieana Delgado, who took a year off after finishing up at Oklahoma City University. Delgado was second in the 2014 Phase II Non-Olympic Trials up at 60 kg, making her a challenge if she has improved at all in her absence.

The Aries WC out of Oklahoma City is bringing college wrestlers Cassidy Jasperson, Rachel Archer and Angeles Cabada to the show. There are also some very talented college athletes who could enter and make an impact. Becka Leathers and Amy Fearnside are ranked here at 55 kg, but both are entered in the Bill Farrell at an Olympic weight. If Chessin, Tarkiya Mensah or Megan Black enter in New York, these collegians could make a difference.

Entered at 55 kg/121 lbs.
1. Kelsey Campbell, Tempe, Ariz. (Sunkist Kids)
2. Whitney Conder, Colorado Springs, Colo. (U.S. Army WCAP)
3. Michaela Hutchison, Lebanon, Ill. (Titan Mercury WC)

6. Becka Leathers, Choctaw, Okla. (Titan Mercury WC)
7. Amy Fearnside, Morgan Hill, Calif. (Titan Mercury WC)

Women’s freestyle - 60 kg/132 lbs.
There are some very talented entries at 60 kg/132 lbs., including 2015 World bronze medalist Leigh Jaynes, who comes into the event with a No. 4 ranking. The leaders in women’s wrestling chose not to advance 2015 World medalists at these weights into the finals series at the Non-Olympic World Team Trials. Therefore, Jaynes will be in the challenge tournament with the rest of the contenders. Jaynes went up to 63 kg at the Olympic Trials, where she lost matches to Hannah Jewell and Mallory Velte. She competed at the 2012 World Championships in Canada, where she had to win a wrestle-off tournament to make that team.

Entering at No. 1 is three-time World Team member Alli Ragan, who was beaten in the finals of the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team Trials at 58 kg by Kelsey Campbell. Ragan has placed as high as fifth at the World Championships, with all of her big achievements at 58 kg or 59 kg. You can expect that Ragan will be highly motivated to get to the World Championships after her disappointment in the Olympic Trials finals.

Coming down from 63 kg is veteran Jennifer Page, a past Junior World medalist, who has wrestled at 58 kg, 60 kg and 63 kg in recent seasons. She was even a 2016 University Nationals champion up at 69 kg. When she has been down at the lower weights, she has been a factor at the highest levels.

Ranked No. 2 prior to this event is college star Mallory Velte, who was No. 3 at the Olympic Trials up at 63 kg. She was reported coming down to try to make this team, but in the registration, she is listed at 63 kg in the Bill Farrell Memorial. At the Olympic Trials, her only loss was to runner-up Erin Clodgo, and she had wins over Jaynes-Provisor and Page along the way.

Don’t ever underestimate Randi Beltz at this weight, as she has been able to make the Women’s National Team and beat some talented people along the way. She was third at the Olympic Trials at 58 kg, losing only to Kayla Miracle, who she beat later in the third-place match. Beltz lost to Campbell and Maya Nelson at the U.S. Open in December 2015, but has a win over Jennifer Page in the 2015 Bill Farrell International.

Miracle, a two-time college national champion, has won two Junior World bronze medals and was fourth at the Olympic Trials. She has wins over many of the talented athletes in this field, but seeks her first big-time Senior-level win this week.

Nelson, a college star, was a 2016 Junior World bronze medalist up at 63 kg. She went 1-2 at the Olympic Team Trials at 58 kg, but has competed well in the months after, winning both the UWW Junior Nationals and the University Nationals.

The rest of the field includes many talented college wrestlers, including Rosemary Flores, Carla Ponce and Daniela Flores. Others who have not entered, such as WCWA champion Natalia Hinojo and talented Francesca Giorgio, could be a factor.
