THIS. IS. THE. WEEK.

The week where, for the first time in two years, we get to see Dake vs Taylor vs Burroughs matched against each other in a single bracket. Add Andrew Howe, Anthony Valencia, Tyler Caldwell to the equatoin, and we've got one hell of a war at 74kg on our hands.  But this week isn't just about 74kg at World Team Trials. FloWrestling will be streaming LIVE Junior World Team Trials action on Friday in addition to this weekend' Senior World Team Trials. There's even more though: headed by perennial favorites Team Illinois, the Cadet National Duals will also be streamed LIVE on FloWrestling this week from 6/10 - 6/13.

As mentioned, this is the week where we see Dake vs Taylor vs Burroughs at Senior World Team Trials, 74kg World Team spot on the line. While the combination of world-class competitors does make for great drama, it is very unlikely that neither Dake nor Taylor (nor anyone else for that matter) unseats World & Olympic Champion, Jordan Burroughs. Other key weight classes to watch include 86kg where we may see the third US World Team member in this weight class in three years, and 97kg where we all await a best of three finals (and rematch) between Junior World champ Kyle Snyder and defending Olympic champ Jake Varner. 

2015 US Open Champs: Tony Ramos (57kg), Reece Humphrey (61kg), Brent Metcalf (65kg), Nick Marable (70kg), Jake Herbert (86kg), Kyle Snyder (97kg), Tervel Dlagnev (HWT)

*US Open Champs sit in finals, face challenge tournament champion in best of three series

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! 

Remember how sick UWW Juniors was, especially at 74kg? Well prepare for round two, plus some: Spencer Lee is rumored to be competing for the World Team spot at 50kg now. WATCH OUT!

The 2015 Cadet National Duals will kickoff tomorrow afternoon as 30 teams from 23 states compete in the first half of the two-part event – the Greco-Roman National Duals. Then, later this week on Friday, 32 teams from 23 states will compete in the final event of the series – the Freestyle National Duals.

And here's yet another reminder about how good Team Illinois is at Duals:
