These outstanding wrestlers will showcase their talents by competing against Pennsylvania’s best in the always exciting Pennsylvania versus USA All-Star dual meet at the 47th Annual Pittsburgh Wrestling Classic.

FloWrestling began recording America’s premier high school all-star dual meet in 2011 when Mark Bader arrived on the scene with a video camera on his shoulder. This year will be the 9th consecutive year FloWrestling is broadcasting the event live.
