For Final X in State College, the top two men’s and women’s freestyle wrestlers in each of six weight classes will compete in a best-of-three series, with winners earning spots on the U.S. Senior World Team to compete at the 2018 World Wrestling Championships in Budapest, Hungary, Oct. 20-28, 2018.

Athletes must qualify for Final X based upon the approved Trials selection procedures in each style, and 2017 Senior World medalists may advance directly to Final X under certain conditions. Based upon these procedures, the only athlete who would be eligible to advance directly to the Final X event on June 16 would be 2017 World bronze medalist J’den Cox, if he competes at 86 kg. However, Cox is expected to compete at 92 kg this year, and that weight class competes June 23. Therefore, no athlete is expected to advance directly to Final X in State College.

The qualifying events for Final X are the 2018 U.S. Open in Las Vegas, Nevada, April 26-28, and the World Team Trials Challenge Tournament for men’s and women’s freestyle, set for Rochester, Minn., May 18-20.
