Many of the top high school wrestlers from around the United States gather in Fargo, North Dakota for the 2025 Junior Nationals. Wrestlers competed in freestyle in both junior and U16 brackets, as Pennsylvania finished atop the "team" state standings.
Earning titles were the likes of Bo Bassett, Melvin Miller and Dreshaun Ross. Bassett, who withdrew his commitment to Iowa and remains unsigned at this moment, won the 144-pound title with a fall.
