Now that freestyle season is upon us, it's time to turn our heads toward the World Team Trials, which will look a bit modified this year. We're doing a primer for each weight before the U.S. Open takes place April 25-28 in Las Vegas, along with complete previews for both the Open and Trials.

In case you haven't heard, there are now 10 weights on the senior level and same-day weigh-ins. That means some people will be changing weights, which will make some weights stronger and some weights a little less deep.

Moving to a same-day weigh-in was always likely to thin the herd at 57kg. If Tony Ramos goes up to 61kg, that means there will only be one wrestler still at this weight from the 2016 Olympic Team Trials, and that is Nathan Tomasello. The 2015 NCAA champ made the national team last year and appears fully committed to competing through at least the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. But he still needs to go through Thomas Gilman, someone he has never beaten in freestyle and who is already waiting at Final X in June.

Also qualified from the Hawkeyes room is Spencer Lee, who beat Tomasello twice this year in folkstyle and is a three-time age level world champ. That sets up a situation that could mirror 2016, in which the 57kg finalists both train in Iowa City. That is of course if Lee decides to wrestle in seniors at the World Team Trials Challenge Tournament in May.

While Lee was becoming the first true freshman to win a 125lb NCAA title, Daton Fix was making the U23 world team and redshirting for Oklahoma State. Like the Hawkeye, Fix is also still junior eligible but may try his hand at making the senior team. Fix beat Tomasello in the U23 finals and once made a Cadet team by beating Lee in the finals, but that was, of course, years ago. Along with Tomasello, Fix will need to wrestle in the senior division at the U.S. Open in order to qualify.

Among the guys who are already qualified is Tim Lambert, who made the finals of both the Dave Schultz and Bill Farrell, and 2016 University nationals champ Zane Richards. Looking ahead, the top seven place-winners qualify for the Trials, so as many as seven and as few as four additional wrestlers will be in Rochester, Minnesota, for the challenge tournament on May 18.

Frank Perrelli had a very strong season last year and was fourth at the 2017 Open. Josh Rodriguez has been wrestling overseas and beat Lambert at the U23 trials, and Zach Sanders qualified for WTT two of the past three years. There’s a strong likelihood we will see Joey Dance and Jesse Delgado try to qualify, as well as Austin Miller, David Terao, and Eddie Klimara.

UPDATE: Tony Ramos is going to 57kg.  He notified us not so subtly on twitter.
