FARGO, N.D. – After six tournaments and seven full days of competition in the FargoDome, Team Pennsylvania emerged as the dominant state team at #Fargo2024.

Pennsylvania scored a whopping 933 points, a full 334 points over runner-up California with 709 points. Illinois placed third with 681 points, followed by fourth-place Iowa with 478 points and fifth-place Ohio with 435 points.

Pennsylvania won big-time by having consistent efforts in all six events, and winning three of the specific tournaments – the 16U women’s freestyle, the 16U men’s freestyle and the Junior men’s freestyle. Some believe that the Pennsylvania Junior men’s freestyle effort, with 278 points, was one of the greatest in Junior Nationals history. Pennsylvania was also the best state in the men’s freestyle discipline (combining 16U and Junior)

California was also very consistent across all six tournaments and won the Junior women’s freestyle team title. California also was the best state in the women’s freestyle discipline (combining 16U and Junior), The consistency showed by being first in women’s freestyle, third in Greco-Roman and fourth in men’s freestyle.

Illinois was the king of Junior Greco-Roman, and won the combined Greco-Roman tournament (with both 16U and Junior). The state was third in men’s freestyle and sixth in women’s freestyle.

Iowa won the 16U Greco-Roman tournament and was second in the combined Greco-Roman standings. The fact that Iowa finished fourth overall after scoring no points in Junior women’s freestyle shows its strength in the other tournaments.

Ohio did not win any specific tournament, but came in fifth due to strong efforts in all three disciplines: sixth in Greco-Roman, seventh in men’s freestyle and ninth in women’s freestyle.

There were 39 state teams which scored points in the tournament. For the first time, all 50 states were represented in the competition, plus teams from Guam and the U.S. territories.
