U.S. Open Championships April 23rd-27th
- Thread starter Cowboy1989
- Start date
So correct me if I’m wrong but Vega, Dee, Robideau, Ryder, and Ross will not be competing this week correct?
They will compete at the U20 Team Trials in June?

Brackets will be at USA Bracketing. You have to register a free account to use it
Haven't heard whether Ryder is competing this summer, but the others you mentioned are competing this weekend in the U20 Open. This list of our guys is up to date
They are all competing at U20 U.S Open this weekend except Ryder. I think he will just be focusing on getting ready for the college season this summer.
Gotcha. I saw that he said on Bo Nickal’s podcast he was going 86kg at U20s. That was before he transferred though and obviously plans can change
Correct, USA bracketing is the only source. We have used it for our state qualifiers here in Ohio, it’s got pros and cons just like any of them. The state association is really pushing it and so it’s all coming from the top. After the creator sold track wrestling to Flo, he created USAB lots of similarities but still a lot to be desired.
Does anyone here know anything about Alex Lobdell? Apparently he’s competing for CWC in the U15 Greco Roman tournament. Just took 5th
Damn lol, he’s probably in 6th grade, I’ve seen him at a few the big youth tournaments around the state over the past year or so, I think is actually from Texas if I’m remembering the right kid.
Moved to Stillwater at the start of the past folkstyle season. Good family.
I’d say he’s not on that level right now relative to kids his age, but training in Stillwater for the next few years may change that. Has a very strong work ethic from what I’ve seen. Was on the high side of 12U this past folk season and placed 3rd at Tulsa Nationals.
Interesting that Jax is wrestling in the senior event and Bo is wrestling in the U20 event. I’m pretty sure Bo can compete on the senior level as easy as Jax.
He could still challenge at the WTT. I stole this list of qualification criteria from the Intermat forums
Wrestlers who meet the following criteria will qualify for the World Team Trials Challenge Tournament:
a) 2023 Senior Men’s Freestyle World Team Member
b) 2024 Senior Men’s Freestyle National Team Member
c) 2024 U23 Men’s Freestyle World Medalist
d) 2024 U20 Men’s Freestyle World Medalist
e) 2024 U17 Men’s Freestyle World Champion (age eligible)
f) November 2024 Armed Forces Men’s Freestyle World Medalist
g) November 2024 Bill Farrell International highest placing (top 4) U.S. athlete, who has yet to qualify, will earn a spot in the 2025 World Team Trials Challenge Tournament
h) February 2025 UWW Medalists at Ranking Series events #1 & #2
i) March 2025 NCAA I top 3 place finisher
j) April 2025 Senior Men’s Freestyle U.S. Open Championships - top 7 place finisher per weight class
k) May 2025 Senior Pan American Championships Medalist
Pretty cool happenings over in the Greco bracket. A father and son (both named Aliaksandr Kikiniou) have made the finals. The son at 72kg and the father at 77kg. Definitely rooting for them both today.
Looks like the senior men's freestyle matches don't start until noon today. Will they be streamed live on Flo?
Very cool. Both have coached my son. They are good people. Poway, CA has a powerhouse program. My son and I always wear our OSU Wrestling gear at their events. Always promoting and recruiting!
Poking around, it looks like the Bout Board function or the Dashboard on USABracketing are probably going to be the best bets for mat assignments.
So annoying, the U.S. Open is one of the premier wrestling events in the world and this is all they have for fans to try and follow along?
Maybe the best option is to use the My Wrestlers function. Hit Edit Wrestlers and then manually add each one. As you add them, make sure to turn on the slider for Mat Assignments notifications (you can also turn on Results notifications). I think the notification only appears on the website, but you can choose to pay for text message notifications as well.
Additionally, guys you've added into My Wrestlers will be highlighted in yellow on the Bout Board and Dashboard pages.
Note for adding My Wrestlers, I think only wrestlers who have weighed in are available to add, so you won't be able to add our U20 guys until tomorrow if I'm correct.
I appreciate the updates. Please keep them coming if possible! Hard for me to follow.
Wow Fix makes quick work and wins 10-0.
A review drags things out a little longer but Jax Forrest wins 13-0
Jax beats Nathaniel Johnson 13-0. A TD+turn, another TD+turn, failed challenge, then a single leg to dump for 4. All in 0:50

Awesome, this definitely helps. I take back some of my disparaging comments, except it’s still lame that we have to pay for text notifications.
Carter Young beats Luke Schroeder 12-2. TD to leg lace with 3 turns, gave up exposure while working for the TD, then got 2 exposure and 2 TD (I think. Still learning FS rules). 0:49

Carter Young wins by 12-2 tech over Luke Schroeder.
Sorry for not going into more detail but I’m not as familiar with freestyle scoring. Also it all happens super fast lol.

Anyone willing to type in mat assignments for our guys as they come up would be much appreciated
Seconded
I'm trying to follow via Flo but I've missed all our guys' matches and some of the names don't load
You can also just follow the Cowboy rtc instead of following each wrestler. I'm getting mat assignments emailed instead of text. It's bs that they want$6 to get text alerts.
Zahid in the hole on Mat 5. Brayden on deck on Mat 6. Robb up now on Mat 8. Hamiti on deck on Mat 4 with Mower in the hole.
Jersey Robb beats Joshua Cortez 10-0. Pushout, pushout, TD with three turns.
Hamiti beats William Hunter 10-0. Ankle pick (surprise!) to back for 4, another ankle pick for 2, another ankle pick for 2 and then lifts the leg for a turn. 0:53
