USA Wrestling just announced that the 2022 World Team Trial Challenge Tournament will be in Coralville, Iowa on May 21-22. Xtreme Arena will host this elite event that will have great competition for men’s and women’s freestyle and Greco-Roman. 

The winner of the Challenge Tournament will qualify to challenge the #1 Wrestler for Team USA at each weight at Final X in June. The location and time of Final X has not yet been released. The winner of Final X will represent Team USA at the 2022 World Championships in Belgrade, Serbia on September 12-18.

This is great news to see another world class wrestling tournament coming to the Xtreme Arena and the Coralville/Iowa City area. It was announced in January that the 2022 World Cup for men’s and women’s freestyle would be held at Xtreme Arena on December 10-11.

No place in the world can compete with Iowa City, Iowa USA for the love and support of wrestling. I see no reason to think that even more top events will be heading to this great location and facility in Coralville in the future.

Iowa City keeps adding to its image as Wrestling Town, USA.

I will keep you up to date with any information of members of the Hawkeye Wrestling Club competing at the WTT Challenge Tournament and final date/location of Final X.

Tickets for the 2022 World Team Challenge Tournament go on sale Thursday, March 10 at www.XtremeArena.com

It is great to be an Iowa Wrestling fan.

Go Hawks!
