The Junior Olympic Qualifier takes place at Delaware Hayes High School on May 16th. Team Ohio is the returning national champions and we are looking to go back and try to repeat! We take 4 teams to the event and you qualify for the team one of two ways: 1. Winning this event 2. Petitioning on to the team.
Coming to the qualifier will help your petitioning chances! This year's JO's will take place in Virginia Beach. We also have a 4 day mini camp leading up to the event that will include clinicians such as Kyle Snyder and J. Jaggers! This is a great event and I highly encourage all wrestlers to try to make the team! You will get around 16 matches over the course of 4 days! Contact me with any questions...Here is the roster of last year's national championship team as well as final team results:
