Attached please find the schedule for the USA
Wrestling kids state folkstyle tournament held in Rochester MN on March 9th,
10th and 11th. The wrestling times and weigh in times vary by the age division
of your wrestler, so make sure you take a good look at the schedule to make sure
you know when to weigh in and wrestle. USA age brackets are determined by birth
year and not grade. I have attached the age bracket sheet for you as
well.
You do need to preregister your wrestler for this
meet, so walk ups are not accepted. The Pee Wee and Bantam age groups do not need to declare a weight this year. Those 2 age groups will be bracketed by scratch weight, so there is no need to make a certain weight group. If your wrestler is an Intermediate or older, you will need to declare a weight
class for the state meet. The weight brackets for each of the older age groups are listed on
the link below. If your wrestler gets heavier after you register, you can bump
up one weight class from your declaration, but you cannot move down a weight
from where you registered, even if you weigh in light enough to make it. Keep
this in mind when registering.
State Meet Schedule and Info:
Age Groups are here:
Wrestlers need to qualify for the
state meet by earning at least 25 points at a USA qualifier
tournament, like ours was. To see a list of qualified wrestlers, go to the
Minnesota USA wrestling website. The list will change every week as more
wrestlers qualify, so feel free to check it often. Here is the
link.
