The Wyoming girls wrestling team is set to compete in one of the most prestigious youth wrestling events in the country — the US Marine Corps Junior and 16U Nationals, held from July 10 to 19 at the Fargo Dome in North Dakota, WyoPreps reports.
The annual tournament draws top high school talent from across the United States and is known for its high level of competition.
In preparation for the event, Wyoming’s team will train in Moorcroft, giving athletes a final opportunity to fine-tune their techniques and build team camaraderie before heading to Fargo.
