What exactly is this FILA meet? Who does one compete against and where does one go onto if they do well at FILA?

Great to see that Bunch and Klein won, I'm just wondering what/how was the competition?

Thanks. Dean

FILA is an International Association of Wrestling Styles focused on Freestyle and Greco-Roman. It is loosely associated with USA Wrestling for international competition. The winner at each weight would normally go to the World Championships; however, that is not happening this year. Does anyone know why?

The number of participants at the Junior World Team Trials is usually small (primarily first year college students with a few high schoolers); however, the quality of each individual wrestler is very high. Kansas should be extremely proud to have three wrestlers (five counting the women) in the finals.
