USA WRESTLING - NEW JERSEYTM

UNION, NJ, January 2 — It's a week of new beginnings.  As the calendar turns to 2025, it's time for New Jersey youth wrestlers to set their sights on a ticket to Trenton in the NJ State Championship Series .

USAW-NJ is again hosting regional qualifiers for both girls and boys from January through March.  Boys qualifying tournaments are being held in the same nine sites, spread throughout the state, starting with Toms River East HS and ending with Fair Lawn HS.  This year there will be six girls qualifying tournaments -- one more than last year -- in order to continue offering more competition opportunities and attract more participation.  Complete details are in the rules flyer below.

Registration for all regional qualifiers is open now on FloArena.  Links to each tournament can be found on our 2025 Scholastic page, and also on the flyer below.

Good luck to all NJ wrestlers this season!  We hope to see you soon at one of our qualifying tournaments.

Team NJ's 16U Women Place an Historic 2nd in Nation

The 2024 Marine Corps USA Wrestling Nationals got off to a roaring start for Team NJ, where our 16U Women's team placed 2nd in the nation, behind winner Pennsylvania and just ahead of 3rd-place California.  The team score was powered by six All-Americans including two champions: Charlie Wylie and Taina McGowan.  Additional finalists Victoria Carbonaro and Ella Poalillo brought home silver, while Olivia Georges took fourth and Marie Sharp captured fifth.

Most notable about the result is that the Pennsylvania and California teams each entered more than double the number of 16U Women's wrestlers as New Jersey, yet New Jersey still powered its way into the top three.  

Fargo results are "a developing story."  A longer article will follow at the end of the tournament
