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 Big Ten, the nation's toughest and deepest college wrestling conference will hold their championship on Saturday and Sunday, March 9-10 in the Xfinity Center on the University of Maryland's College Park campus, and no we have the pressed for the tournament!

Another week of NCAA D1 college wrestling brought another bevy of upsets.

The Boilermakers of Purdue will enter hostile territory and Carver-Hawkeye Arena to take on #2 ranked Iowa in a primetime college wrestling dual.

U20 Nationals (formerly known as UWW Junior Nationals) is one of my favorite age-level tournaments every year. The top high school upperclassmen get to test themselves against the best first or second-year college guys who are often hungry to compete coming out of redshirt. It's the first step in making the Junior World Team as the winner of this event will earn an automatic berth to the best-of-three wrestle-off series against the World Team Trials challenge tournament champion in June.

On the Senior level, the US Open will set the stage for Final X, but there's plenty to watch at the U17 and U20 divisions as well. The U17 division will conclude with a best-of-three series that will decide the World Team, shake up the high school rankings, and establish some wrestlers' cases to be in Who's Number One. High Schoolers in the U20 division will compete against other elite peers but will also test themselves against guys who have been seasoned in college rooms for a year or two.

The Minnesota Christmas tournament rarely disappoints due to the high caliber of competition in Minnesota and its surrounding states. Take a look at this year's pre-seeds with national rankings where applicable. Every weight is tough, and several weights have multiple nationally-ranked wrestlers. Pay special attention to 182 lbs and 195 lbs. It's also worth noting that Gigi Bragg, the #12 ranked wrestler in the women's national rankings will toe the line in the boys' division at this tournament.
