TEAM DUALS
Cadet
The USA Wrestling Cadet National Duals are headed to Farmington, Utah, June 9–13, 2026, and the stakes are higher than ever. This event brings together the nation’s top 15 and 16 year-old athletes for a week of elite-level competition, team pride, and serious mat battles.
Cadet duals are where talent meets grit. Wrestlers here are refining their styles, executing high-level strategy, and chasing national recognition. Every match is a test of skill, composure, and toughness, and every point matters. Whether it’s a last-second step out or a dominant tech fall, these athletes are building legacies one bout at a time.
