Invitation:

NHSCA High School Junior Nationals Wrestling Championship and Convention
A showcase for college recruiting…

Every college wrestling coach in the country has been invited to attend this event. Past events have served as tremendous showcases of recruiting for the college coach. Last year, over 215 colleges and university wrestling coaches attended the event. From the 2006 event, 11 of 14 champions have already signed with NCAA D I schools in the early signing period alone.

Those coaches whom do not attend this event will surely want to visit the NHSCA web site for complete tournament results.
And a springboard to greatness…

NHSCA National Championship Events have seen hundreds of its participants enjoy illustrious college careers. Many NCAA champions and All-Americans and USA Olympians have competed in NHSCA National Championship Events when they were in high school. In the 2006 NCAA Division I finals for example, 9 of the 10 NCAA Champions wrestled in the NHSCA Senior Nationals when they were high school seniors. On average NHSCA Senior Nationals alumni make an average of 17 of the 20 NCAA Division I National Wrestling Championship finals appearances each year…. and they win an average of 8 of the 10 NCAA D I National Championships each year.
Accept no substitute…

Modeled after the NCAA Division I Championship, the NHSCA High School Junior Nationals Wrestling Championship affords you the very best competition in the country and best chance to be noticed by college coaches. This is a tremendous opportunity for both the superstar and average wrestler a chance to put the rankings aside and prove they are amongst the top wrestlers in the country. Last year, featured more than 450 of the country's top juniors representing 41 states. Over 80% of the entries were state champions, state place finishers, or state qualifiers from their home state. The top 8 place finishers in each weight class will officially be declared High School All-Americans.
