Drop in to see the year’s largest collection of high school wrestlers in one location, but stick around for a glimpse of the future of the sport.

What does that mean? 

It means that along with showcasing hundreds of the top high school wrestlers in the country each year, the Defense Soap Super 32 Challenge also features top-tier competition in a variety of other categories – middle school, 11U, 8U and girls – and that won’t be any different in 2025.

This year, the Super 32 Challenge will be held Oct. 18-19 at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina, and it all will take place live on FloWrestling and the FloSports app.

Among the lengthy entry list for the event will be nearly 200 nationally ranked boys and more than 150 nationally ranked girls, all looking to prove themselves against their peers, improve their rankings, prepare for the 2025 season or impress the college coaches who no doubt will be watching closely, too.

At the same time, many of the competitors already have committed to colleges, including dozens of NCAA Division I programs, so the Super 32 Challenge will be a nice preview for fans of collegiate wrestling. Here is a list of the college commits headed to North Carolina.

Matches will take place throughout the day across more than two dozen mats.

• The High School (boys) Division will include 14 weight classes, from 106 pounds to heavyweight (285+).

About The Super 32 Challenge

The Super 32 Challenge debuted in the mid-1990s as a preseason event and fundraiser at Morehead High School in North Carolina, attracting a few dozen entries from the Tarheel State and nearby Virginia.

As a new century began, so too did a new era for the event, which got a name change and immediately grew in prestige, as the Super 32 was the formal name of North Carolina high school wrestling rankings. 

The result was instant credibility and immediate growth, and the event continues to serve as a stepping stone for so many wrestlers who go on to find success in college, and even globally, including the Olympics.
