Each year Utah takes a Junior National Team (those that were enrolled in 9th-12th grade during the 2015-2016 school year) back to Tulsa, Oklahoma to compete in the national duals. The duals are Greco-Roman and Freestyle wrestling where the team gets anywhere from 14-18 duals. Since 2012 Utah has placed in the top 8 earning All-American honors five times with their highest finish being 3rd place in 2015 in Greco-Roman. 

This year Utah will be taking two teams back to the duals to compete for the first time ever. The team this year left on June 19th and will wrestle on the 22nd, 23rd, 24th and 25th.  All the action can be followed on trackwrestling.com as well as flowrestling.org. Let's meet this year's team!
