ROADMAP
Kansas will send two teams to compete against the rest of the U.S. How do you become a member of these teams? Please read below:
FS/GR STATE
Team Kansas will fill the dual spots primarily by using the FS/GR State tournament. The top two placers at this event are qualified for the Cadet Dual teams in their respective weight class and style. If a placer elects not to compete then the USAWKS Coaching staff is allowed to fill these spots. Athletes can choose to change weight classes but in the event all spots are occupied they will have to win a best of three challenge match series. The coaching staff will move to the 3rd place finisher first and then look to ANY and ALL wrestlers from Kansas to fill the possible 48 spots!

CADET DUAL TEAM CAMP
Team Kansas will attend a pre-tournament camp in the Kansas City Area on Saturday June 11, 2016. This camp will focus on technique emphasis and rules, while conducting our challenge matches to determine roster spots.
