Any athlete who finishes in the top five of their respective weight class this weekend during the Dec. 15-17 tournament secures their spot. Locking up a spot in December means potentially not having to make weight again until April, which could be especially important for athletes in between weights who are cutting or bulking after wrestling a non-Olympic weight for the last several years or throughout the college season.
This year’s senior nationals event, though, isn’t the only qualifying tournament for the Olympic Trials, as some athletes have already qualified through previous world team participation, age group medal performance or a Bill Ferrell Invitational championship. Athletes can also secure a ticket to Olympic Trials in the coming months by qualifying the weight at the Pan American Olympic Qualifier or winning the Pan American championships. … story at … NCAA.com/Everything-you-need-know-about-college-wrestlers-competing-olympic-trials-spot
