One of my favorite age-level tournaments of the year has arrived - the Junior World Team Trials. The nation’s best high school upperclassmen and college underclassmen will put it on the line for a chance to represent their country overseas.

The U23 Nationals and U20 World Team Trials brackets will be both massive (mostly the U23 ones) and stacked with some of the most talented and credentialed college wrestlers in the country.

It's hard to overstate how much exciting college wrestling took place this past weekend. All seven conferences held their championships over the last few days and determined the majority of the qualifiers for the 2024 NCAA Championships that will take place in less than two weeks in Kansas City, Missouri.

The Hilton Coliseum will be rocking on Sunday afternoon as the #4 Iowa State Cyclones host the #11 Missouri Tigers in a massive matchup on the final day of the regular season.

All the upsets based on the latest rankings from the 14th week of the 2023-24 NCAA D1 college wrestling season. Al the usual caveats apply. Some results that look like upsets now won't look like upsets at a later date.

Another tumultuous week of NCAA D1 wrestling produced many upsets, particularly in the top 10! All the usual caveats apply, that which looks like an upset this week may not look like one by the end of the season, or even by next week!

#7 Iowa and #10 Iowa State are set to wrestle the dual of the year Sunday at 3 pm Eastern inside Hilton Coliseum. This is Kevin Dresser’s best team since taking over in Ames and they not only have a real shot to win but might be the favorite. This would be coach Tom Brands’ first-ever loss to the Cyclones as head coach at Iowa.
