 So…what effect will the Cadet and Junior National Duals have on the outcome at Fargo?

Some…maybe. After all, dual-meet wrestling, regardless of the venue, is a sport of momentum. A lot of upsets take place after your teammates have won four or five matches in a row (an upset win) or after a similar losing streak (an upset loss). That’s where the mental toughness aspect of the sport comes in. As we’ve seen, however, a lot of those results get turned around a few weeks later under the Dome.

But as we write these, the Cadet and Junior National Duals have not yet taken place, so we don’t have the benefit of hindsight. How about regionals? There were some big names there. So, based solely on spring performance, here are what the Cadet and Junior National finals could look like:
