Super 32 - An Overview
Super 32 is the IT event for high school wrestlers. Fargo is huge, but Super 32 is folkstyle (scholastic, etc.) and that is a big deal. As you can see from MatScouts Willie Saylor’s tweet below … 60% of the ranked kids in the country are registered. I’m going to do a breakdown of each weight and will be releasing it beginning this weekend on SEWrestle+ (I plan to release it later in the week on the regular blog), but below is an overview of the tournament to get a sense of the size and scope of the event (if you’ve never been there or watched it before). The event is covered by flo which will stream all 30+ mats as well as do commentary for the finals (Sunday afternoon).
