THWC to Host Summer Freestyle Duals Saturday in Chapel Hill

The Tar Heel Wrestling Club will host the Tar Heel Summer Freestyle Duals Tournament this Saturday on the campus of the University of North Carolina.

The event will feature high school divisions and showcase athletes representing nine programs including Believe to Achieve Wrestling Club, Great Neck Wrestling Club, Harrisburg Wrestling Club, Raleigh Area Wrestling, Tioga, Triangle Wrestling Academy, Union Pines, Virginia Team Predator, and Lake Highland Prep.

Designed to maximize competition and development, the tournament utilizes a pool and round-robin dual meet format, ensuring athletes receive multiple matches against quality opponents throughout the day. As a USA Wrestling-sanctioned event, competitors will have the opportunity to test themselves under the sport's national governing body while gaining valuable freestyle experience during the offseason.

​"The Summer Duals provide a tremendous opportunity for wrestlers to gain valuable freestyle experience while competing alongside their teammates," said Brian Tucker. "We're excited to welcome programs from several states to Chapel Hill and continue building one of the premier summer wrestling events in the Southeast."

The tournament will use the high school weight system with a three-pound allowance and will feature the following weight classes: 106, 113, 120, 126, 132, 138, 144, 150, 157, 175, 190, 215, and 285.

Wrestling fans, families, and supporters are encouraged to attend and watch.
