There are 1,064 wrestlers entered in the Junior Nationals freestyle tournament, an increase of 16 from last year.
There were 4,152 total entries in the eight-day ASICS/Vaughan Junior and Cadet Nationals, an increase of 182 from last year. The numbers in all seven tournaments went up this year in Fargo.
This is a bit misleading, that was my thought when I heard them announce these numbers over the PA. There were 1007 Cadet FS wrestlers and 1062 (according to trackwrestling)Junior FS wrestlers. Most of these wrestlers were in Greco or should I say nearly all Greco wrestlers compete in FS too. Either way your information counts most competitors twice. So roughly 2100 DIFFERENT competitors in the four main events of the week. Just offering some clarity.
86 Cadet Women FS
225 Junior Women FS
The seventh event being Women's duals so that would not add any additional wrestlers to the count either. So a total of 2400-2500 different wrestlers were in Fargo competing this week.
