Today is milestone day for high school wrestling in Wisconsin with the passing of the new tournament series format. This may be one of the largest single changes for the sport at the high school level in the history for the state.

[Mel Dow @mel_dow]

Elimination of the mid week team state qualifying event and weigh in will allow all wrestlers to focus on both their personal and team goals, the expansion of the team state qualifying process and qualifying teams, and consistent processes for all 3 divisions.

The @WIWrestlingFed hosted an incredible Junior Duals in Milwaukee. It was a pleasure to have a front row seat seeing the Junior team by keeping score and have hands on learning of the new USA Bracketing system.

[Mel Dow @mel_dow]

Congratulations to Team Wisconsin and all of the Wisconsin wrestlers so far this summer representing the state at national duals. Great to see the dedication by our wrestlers and coaches. All 3 age levels demonstrating the strength and depth within the state.
