Four talented Senior men’s Beach wrestlers will compete at the 2025 Senior Pan American Beach Championships on Sunday, April 13 in Queretaro, Mexico.

This event will be held on the day following the conclusion of the Pan American U23 Championships in the Olympic styles, also held in Queretaro.

Kyle Ferriter, who was an overall Beach World bronze medalist in 2024 in the Over 90 kg weight class, will compete for the U.S. team. Ferriter claimed a bronze medal at the 2024 Beach World Series stop in Saint Laurent du Var, France and wrestled in all five of the 2024 Beach World Series events.

Justin Benjamin, who was the first U.S. man to win a gold medal at a Senior Beach World Series Event, is entered at 70 kg. Benjamin was the champion at the 2024 Acapulco Beach World Series in Acapulco, Mexico. He placed a strong fourth at his weight class in the final Beach World Series standings for 2024.

Tyson Beauperthuy, who won a Senior bronze medal at the 2023 Beach World Series stop in Constanta, Romania, will wrestle at 90 kg. Beauperthuy is competing in his second event in Queretaro this week, after wrestling in Greco-Roman at the Pan American U23 Championships on Thursday.

Bryan Coll will wrestle at 70 kg as well. Coll was ranked No. 8 at his weight class in the final Beach World Series standings for 2024.

The competition will be held in one session on Sunday, which begins at 1:00 p.m. local time. Queretaro is in the same time zone as the U.S. Mountain Time Zone.
