MN/USA STATE

The MN/USA State Tournament is held at the Mayo Civic Center in Rochester, MN, running from Thursday through Saturday March 16-18. Pee-Wee and Bantam individual rounds will be held on Friday March 17th, and Intermediate and Novice individual rounds are on Saturday March 18th. Schoolboy and Cadet individual rounds are on Sunday, March 19th. A full link to the schedule here.

Schoolboy wrestlers (14U) need to finish in the top 4 at a Regional tournament. All Schoolboy wrestlers are qualified for the Regional tournaments without having to compete at any MN/USA qualifiers. Three days of State Wrestling are broken up as such:

When wrestling at a Regional, if a wrestler qualifies for the state tournament at a determined weight class, that wrestler needs to make that the same weight class for state. A wrestler will not move up or down weight classes after the Regionals.

The Regional tournaments are:

Feb. 19th in Shakopee

                                                    Feb. 26th in Blaine

                                                    Feb. 26th in Brainerd

                                                    March 11th in Forest Lake

                                                    March 12th in Cannon Falls

NYWA STATE

Another option for State wrestling tournaments is the NYWA.

To qualify for the NYWA State tournament, a wrestler need to first compete in Districts, and then must place in the top three at Regions.  Each Region has 3 District tournaments that lead to Regionals.  For proximity reasons to Centennial, I would suggest a District tournament in Becker MN on March 5th followed by the Regions tournament in Waconia on March 25th.

Itinerary for the state meet can be found here.

NYWA State is also held at the May Civic Center in Rochester, MN, and it is scheduled for March 30-April 2.
