The recent World Team Trials Challenge tournament decided four remaining Final X spots, but it also provided clarity on who will represent the United States at the U23 World Championships in Tampere, Finland on October 23-29. U23 National champions are not guaranteed a spot. 

The U23 World team was determined by Final X participants in all but one weight. 

The highest age-eligible wrestler on the U.S. Senior National team (top three) at each weight qualifies for the U23 World Championships. The U23 National champion gets the spot if no wrestler in the top three is age-eligible.
