The team is also now accepting applications for spots on the 2016 & 2017 Team. Already, four spots have been filled for 2016 and seven for 2017. Only applications received by January 2015 will be considered for our early selection process, in which wrestlers will be added to the teams by January 31, 2015. Applications received after that will have to wait until October 2015 for consideration.
Those selected early will be included in various team activities, as well as receive first chance at attending the 2015 team training camp, in June.
