5 Texas Women Registered for UWW U23 & Junior Nationals in Omaha

The UWW U23 and Junior Nationals will take place in Omaha, Nebraska, next week from November 13-15. Each division will feature all three Olympic styles (men’s freestyle, women’s freestyle and Greco-Roman) with 10 weight classes in each style. The tournament was initially slated to act as a World Team Trials for the Junior and U23 World Teams. However, both age-group-level World tournaments have been cancelled by United World Wrestling.
While registration doesn’t close until Tuesday, November 10, a strong contingent of athletes already lined up to compete. Below, check out some of the big names in women’s freestyle that are already registered.
