Fargo week! Stop sign week. Cadet and Junior National Championships week. It all starts on Saturday as 4,000+ of the best male and female high school wrestlers in US compete for national titles in Freestyle and Greco-Roman. But before we start handing out stop signs at Fargo (an emblem of national Cadet and Junior supremacy), we kick off the Grand River Rumble —one of the fastest growing tournaments in the country. The Grand River Rumble fields wrestlers from 20+ states and features both dual and individual style tournaments. More details below. 

FARGO aka Asics/Vaughn Junior and Cadet National Championships 
Date: July 18-25, 2015

Fargo, ND is THE PLACE to compete if you want to get recruited. The top college wrestling programs from across the country will be sending their top assistants out to the "Thunderdome" this year (every year) to scout the best young high school talent and the best unsigned junior and senior wrestlers. If a wrestler All-Americans in Fargo, collegiate coaches notice. It's as simple as that. 

All the stars will be out: past champions like Mitch McKee, Isaiah White, Mason Maville; past and current #1 ranked wrestlers like Kaid Brock, Hayden Hidlay, Nick Reenan and a slew of bad mothers, like Jo Jo Smith, Kamal Bey, Fredy Stroker, etc. 

On the team side of things, there is one main storyline to follow: Junior Duals champs Oklahoma looks to take the team title over Fargo juggernauts Illinois, a truly LOADED New Jersey squad, team Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania and more! Oklahoma has finished 2nd as a team the past two years. Can they get it done this year?
