PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDARS: The U.S. Open Wrestling Championships, the annual national championship on the Senior level, will be at Public Hall in Cleveland, Ohio, April 8-9. The nation's best wrestlers in the three Olympic styles, men's freestyle, women's freestyle and Greco-Roman, will return to Cleveland for the second straight year. The FILA Junior Nationals will be held alongside the U.S. Open, with Greco-Roman on April 7 and freestyle on April 10.

ALSO NOTE: The U.S. World Team Trials will be held at the Cox Convention Center in Oklahoma City, Okla., June 10-11. This is a must-attend event and we encourage you to make plans to be there.
