The National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) and the Delaware Wrestling Alliance (DWA) through the sponsorship of Brute, will be hosting the second annual NWCA/DWA US High School Open and Scholastic Duals April 4-6, 2003 at the Bob Carpenter Center in Newark, DE. This USA Wrestling sanctioned event will again bring together one of the nation*s most successful underclassman team tournaments with the US High School Open in one venue. The US High School Open enters its second year after a successful inaugural tournament. Over 300 wrestlers competed in last year's event including 50 state champions. This event creates an opportunity for thousands of outstanding wrestlers across the country to compete against the nation's best and to earn US High School Open All-American Honors. This year's tournament is already showcasing a bigger and strong field than a year ago. Entries for this event are limited to 32 wrestlers per weight class. The scholastic duals, which is entering its ninth year, is a showcase for upcoming talent as no seniors are allowed to compete in this state versus state, folkstyle dual meet competition. The talent for this event grows each year as evidenced by last year's championship field that included 195 state place finishers, 88 state finalists, 58 State Champions and National Prep Champions. This year*s competition field should be even more intense as the team field will be increased to 24 state teams.
