Top Bucks County area wrestlers headed to prestigious Fargo nationals

A strong contingent of Bucks County area wrestlers is headed to the prestigious U.S. Marine Corps Junior and 16-and-under Nationals in Fargo, N.D., which begin on Friday.

Earn a medal here, against the nation's best, and you immediately make a name for yourself.

The girls' finals and placement matches will be held on Sunday while the boys' tournament wraps up Wednesday, July 17.

Below are the area wrestlers taking part in the event with weight class, name, school and the grade they will be in this fall.

Most of our area wrestlers will compete in the freestyle tournament (which is closely aligned style-wise with high school wrestling) while a few will be in the separate Greco-Roman tournament, which emphasizes upper body moves.

If we missed any participants, please let us know.
