Coming off a strong performance last year that included a 16U men’s freestyle team title a tournament total of 50 All-American finishes, Pennsylvania is headed back to Fargo with another powerful contingent in both men’s and women’s freestyle as well as Greco-Roman. Pennsylvania has 15 All-Americans returning to the FargoDome this year on the men’s side and six more in women’s freestyle. Expect Pennsylvania to come prepared to push for a team title in each division.

Wrestlers To Watch

#6 Gauge Botero (Junior MFS, 120) — Botero had an excellent performance last year in Fargo, finishing third in an absolutely loaded 120-pound bracket in freestyle then made the jump up to 126 pounds for Greco and finished third as well. Botero picked up wins over Branden Wentzel and Brandt Harer on his way to his first PIAA AA State Championship this season as a sophomore. Heading into Fargo, Botero recently picked up a huge win over a fellow Pennsylvania wrestler who will also be in the 120-pound field — two-time PIAA AAA state champion and returning All-American Nathan Desmond.

#6 Vince Bouzakis (Junior MFS/GR, 152) — Bouzakis made the finals last year in Fargo in the 16U freestyle division before falling to PJ Duke. Bouzakis and Duke would meet again just a few months later in the Super 32 finals in which Duke came away victorious once again. Bouzakis then made the transfer to Notre Dame Green Pond, where he won a Beast of the East title and finished the season by winning his first PIAA AA State Championship. Bouzakis could be staring down the barrel at a matchup with fellow PIAA champion Collin Gaj as they are the top two ranked competitors at 152 pounds in the Junior division.

#9 Sierra Chiesa (16U WFS, 117) — Sierra Chiesa made Pennsylvania history this season as she was the first woman to qualify for the PIAA State Championships and fell just short of winning a PIAA medal. She followed that up by winning a women’s high school state championship later that weekend. Chiesa will be in the mix to win her first stop sign in Fargo at 117 pounds.

#4 Jax Forrest (Junior MFS, 126) — Forrest burst on the scene last year when he defeated returning World bronze medalist Nate Jesuroga to make the U17 World Team and followed that up with a silver medal finish at the U17 World Championships. Forrest followed that up with a series of high-level performances, including a win at Who’s Number One, a third-place finish at Super 32, a runner-up finish at Ironman, a Powerade title, and several impressive performances at Division 1 college open tournaments as just a freshman in high school. After falling just short of making another U17 World Team back in April, Forrest will bring his A-game to the FargoDome and will be one of the favorites to win a stop sign for Team Pennsylvania. 

#5 Jordyn Fouse (16U WFS, 132) — Fouse had an excellent performance last year in Fargo, where she doubled up on All-American finishes by placing fifth in the 16U division and second in the Junior division. Fouse also won a Pennsylvania women’s high school state championship this season as a sophomore. Fouse is only registered in the 16U division this year and will be a favorite to win a stop sign at 132 pounds. 

#6 Aubre Krazer (Junior WFS, 122) — Krazer was impressive a year ago in Fargo. She also doubled up on All-American finishes as she finished second in the Junior division and third in the 16U division. After completing her second straight undefeated season and winning her second Pennsylvania women’s state title this season, Krazer will be back and only competing in the Junior division this year. She will be in the mix to win a stop sign at 122 pounds. 

#13 Pierson Manville (Junior MFS/GR, 145) — After winning a PIAA AAA State Championship in 2022 with back-to-back wins over returning state champions, Manville was third in both freestyle and Greco last year in Fargo. Manville has had much success in the FargoDome as he was also second in freestyle and won a stop sign in Greco in 2021. 

#4 Valarie Solorio (Junior WFS, 100) — Solorio won a stop sign in the 16U division in 2021 but missed the 16U National Championship tournament a year ago with an injury. She won two high school state titles before making the move back from Florida to Pennsylvania this past fall and won a Pennsylvania women’s state championship this season. Solorio will make her return to the FargoDome this year and will be the favorite to win her second stop sign at 100 pounds. 

#18 Adam Waters (Junior MFS/GR, 170) — Waters is one of the top wrestlers in the class of 2026. After finishing third in freestyle and second in Greco at Fargo a year ago, Waters finished a 44-1 freshman season in which he was able to pick up three wins over returning PIAA champion #19 Holden Garcia, including a win by fall in the PIAA AA finals to win his first state championship. Waters will be in a very deep 170-pound field which also includes his in-state rival opponent Holden Garcia.
