BOYS FARGO CAMP in July is MANDATORY

All wrestlers competing at Fargo are required to attend a MANDATORY team camp in order to participate.  This camp is ONLY for kids paid and wrestling at the National Championships in Fargo. 

In 2025 the dates are July 9th and 10th

Qualification Details

Each state is allowed 4 wrestlers per weight class, not including athletes who are Auto-Qualified.

  • The MN/USA Wrestling FS and GR State Champion will GUARANTEE one of the four allotted spots,  in the style and weight, they won. 
    • if a wrestler decides to change weight classes, they will not be guaranteed a spot and will need to wrestle off, if not auto-qualified.

How to Automatically Qualify for Nationals and NOT count against the 4/weight class:

  • Fargo All-American from previous year in style
  • Finish top 8 at UWW this year
    • (placement must be in the same style)
  • Finish top 6 at Northern Plains or any USA Regional  Tournament this year
    • (placement must be in the same age and style)
  • Previous year, age-level World Team member
    • (must be in the same style)

Auto Qualifier are allowed to compete at whatever weight you want in the particular style you qualified in.

All competing wrestlers, regardless of auto-qualification, must register!  This allows the age group directors to know how many individuals are at each weight. All open spots, will be wrestled off at the June Fargo Camp date and site.  Failure to make a wrestle off will mean you will miss out on your opportunity to compete in Fargo.
