This camp is a training camp for all those attending the Nationals in July. We welcome others that would like to participate and workout with the best in Utah. During this camp we will be working strictly on Freestyle and Greco Roman wrestling. There will be absolutely no Folkstyle wrestled. This camp is not meant to get the wrestlers in shape. It’s meant to fine tune their skills and prepare for nationals. So, make sure that you’re in shape and ready for camp.

The camp this year will be held at Telos U in Orem, UT. We will not have kids stay the night at camp, so you will need to commute to camp each day. You can get a hotel or stay at someone’s house if you want, but that’s up to you. We will provide lunch on the first and second day of camp. The third day will just be a little snack because it will be a shorter day. Down below you can find the schedule and registration for camp.

Date: July 1st-3rd 2024

Ages: wrestlers born in 2007 and older only

Where: Telos U (600 S Geneva Rd, Orem, UT 84059)

Cap: 100 participants

Cost: $100 for kids attending Fargo.

ALL WRESTLERS MUST HAVE A USA CARD

For questions please contact Dwayne Henry at Dwayne.utahwrestling@gmail.com

The weight that you wrestle at state will be the weight that you qualify to compete in at Fargo.  If you want to change weight classes or divisions for Fargo there must be a spot available (all those that wrestled the weight at state will have priority over those wanting to change weights). Those that participated in state will have priority over those that did not participate in state due to injury or other reasons. 

If there are multiple kids wanting to move to a certain weight and they all requested the weight change before May 1st here is the criteria on who gets the spot (if weight changes are requested after May 1st it is a first come first serve):

1. If they were in the same weight at state then whoever placed higher at state will have priority

2. If they were different weights at state but one is a returning Fargo All American then that wrestler will get priority.

3. If they were different weights at state and no one was a Fargo All American the previous year then we will schedule a wrestle off for that spot.
