Who's going to come from seemingly out of nowhere to dazzle the crowd in Vegas this weekend? We're highlighting some potential dark horses that are looking to make waves at the U.S. Open and shed their sleeper status. 

It's finally 2018 U.S. Open week. That means the last chance to qualify for the World Team Trials challenge tournament next month in Rochester, MN, as well as the opportunity to win Final X berths at five weights.

What a great time to be an American Wrestling fan. We’re on top of the world and we haven’t even assembled our best team. This year should be the first time that we see the perennial 74kg log jam thinned out. The way that it looks on paper is JB at 74, Dake at 79, and Taylor at 86. Here’s the thing though, Final X isn’t going to be contested on paper and there are a few people that may have an objection to the USA’s lineup being a foregone conclusion. Namely 3X NCAA champion, Alex Dieringer. Kyle Dake and Alex Dieringer have met up 3 times. Dake has gotten his hand raised each time, but the margin of victory has gotten smaller each time. The last time the two met was in the world team trial challenge tournament finals and Dake won 2-1. There is a good chance that we see Dake/Ringer 4 at the US Open final this weekend (although guys like Zahid Valencia might object to that as a foregone conclusion). 

The 2018 U.S. Open is setting the scene to ignite a number of heated rivalries this weekend in Las Vegas—both old and new.

For most NCAA wrestlers who take a redshirt year, there are only a select few times that we get the chance to see them compete during the season.

The 2018 U.S. Open is not only a showcase for our finest Senior-level talent but also a grand stage for the best young wrestlers in the country. For UWW Juniors, those aged 17-20, it's an opportunity to get a bye to the World Team Trials finals, one step closer to wrestling for the stars and stripes in Slovakia this September.

The U.S. Open is right around the corner and the meanest, baddest, and raddest dudes in America are descending on Las Vegas to battle it out in freestyle at the U.S. Open. There will be more awesome matches than is humanly possible to keep track of, so we've highlighted a few of our most highly anticipated bouts.

Some of the United States' biggest and baddest stars are slated to throw down at the U.S. Open in Las Vegas this week, and we are bound to see some of their signature moves in action.

Four-time NCAA All-American Nathan Tomasello released a statement today explaining his injury that kept him sidelined for half the season and plagued him when he returned to the mat for Ohio State in January.
