Itching for more wrestling after Olympic Trials? Well, don’t worry we have another weekend full of action from Friday to Sunday! 

Heartland National Duals
Date: April 15-17
Broadcast Info: WATCH LIVE HERE


Entering it’s 8th year, the Heartland National Duals has grown from 8 teams in one elementary division to 65 teams in two divisions - elementary and middle school. Last year’s middle school champion, Missouri United, looks to repeat it’s performance from last year, where they narrowly defeated Colorado Mile High 38-30 in the championship dual. In the elementary division, Team PA Gold looks to build a dynasty after stunning 3-time champion Illinois Gold 41-32 last year. With teams from North Dakota down to Florida, Utah to Pennsylvania, and many states in between, this event brings together many of top elementary and middle school wrestlers in the country to battle it out and see who has the best team in all of the land. All 31 mats will be LIVE this weekend Friday-Sunday.


Pop & Flo Mini-Men Nationals
Date: April 16

In 2010 Journeymen Wrestling and Flowrestling joined forces to create one of the top alliances in wrestling – The Pop & FloWrestling Series. That alliance spawned three of the most renowned tournaments in the country – The Pop & Flo National Duals in Lake Placid, NY, Pop & Flo Southern Style Duals in NC, and this – Pop & Flo Mini Men Nationals, an individual tournament focused on getting the best wrestlers in the Northeast together in late spring. Don’t miss out on your chance to see some of the best youth and high school wrestlers in the country.

Imagine Fargo plus the world! That is what tournament director Frank Popolizio’s goal is to create. In its first year Popolizio has wrestlers invading New York from Russia, Italy, Lithuania, Korea, and Tajikistan. These wrestlers are not only some of the best in their countries, but some of the best in the world. Two Cadet world champs, Asian Championship medalists, and junior world team members will all take on the United States best. The United States best is led by Cadet World Champions Jarod Verkleeren and Yianni Diakomihalis. Hayden Hidlay, Vito Arujau, Dylan D’Emilio, Kanen Storr, and Ben Darmstadt are just SOME of the other hammers that will be there as well.
