Women's Nationals, once affectionately known as "Body Bar," is coming this weekend to the Will Rogers Memorial Center in Fort Worth, Texas, May 6-8. World Team spots will be on the line, though some special provisions have been made for the U23 team this year that will combine with results at Senior Nationals.

Here's a quick preview of the divisions.

U23 Division

Perusing up and down the entry list, the U23 division looks like a gathering of college all-stars, as the groups feature college All-Americans from the NCAA and NAIA. Here's what to watch for in this division:

Weights to watch: 50 kilograms has some depth, which seems to be a theme these days, as the NCAA, NAIA, and U.S. Open all featured deep fields at this weight. In the U23 division, this weight has some powerhouses, starting with 2021 Junior and U23 world champion Emily Shilson. Enough said. Next mention should be Texas Wrestling Club's Nina Pham, a two-time NAIA national champion that just made the finals last weekend at the U.S. Open in Las Vegas, falling to Erin Golston 6-0. It would be experience vs. youth if Shilson or Pham hit California high school star Nyla Valencia or Maryland's Alexandra Szkotnicki. Valencia was the 2020 CIF state champ and is a two-time Super 32 champ; Szkotnicki was a 2019 Cadet World teamer. Tornado Wrestling Club's Danielle Garcia is in the field, a wrestler who took third last weekend at the U.S. Open. 50 kg is also loaded with college All-Americans: Sage Mortimer (King), Angelina Graff (North Central), Julieanne Moccia (Gannon), Katerina Pendergrass (Gannon), Jessica Corredor (Missouri Baptist), Madison Brown (Texas Wesleyan), and Emma Baertlein (Southern Oregon). 

59 kg is also stacked. It's a weight featuring last week's U.S. Open winner Nanea Estrella, 2022 NAIA champion Lexie Basham, U.S. Open champ Nanea Estrella, 2021 Junior world teamer Claire DiCugno, 2021 NCAA champ Brenda Reyna, 2022 NCAA finalist Niya Teresita Gaines, NCAA All-American Mia Macaluso, NCAA All-American Montana Delawder, and high school sixth-ranked Janida Garcia and #7 Esther Han. 

65 kg is also compelling, though it looks like two-time U.S. Open winner Emma Bruntil and everyone else. The field also includes 2020 college national finalist Dalia Garibay -- who handed Bruntil her only college loss -- along with 2019 Cadet World silver medalist Skylar Hattendorf, King multiple-time All-American Ana Luciano, and Minnesota rising star Katerina Lange, who was a Junior finalist at this event last year, losing a close series to Alara Boyd. Lange's status is unclear, as she sustained a nasty elbow injury last weekend. 

Wrestlers to watch: Macey Kilty is back. She's entered at 62 kg, and is certainly the favorite at that weight, despite the fact that 2022 NCAA champ Zoe Nowicki and Army/WCAP's Alex Liles are also in the group. U.S. Open champ Felicity Taylor is entered at 53 kg and keep an eye on Alisha Howk at 55 kg, who's currently ranked #4 at the Senior level. U.S. Open winner Adriana Dorado Marin is also at 55 kg and looks to stay red hot after her performance in Las Vegas. And don't overlook Marissa Gallegos, one of the most exciting wrestlers on the scene right now. Two-time NCAA champ Alex Hedrick is at 57 kg, and also expect high schooler Alexis Janiak to be tough at that weight, a young but battle-tested wrestler, having won Fargo last summer. 

2021 Junior World champion Amit Elor is entered at 72 kg. Other names that stick out at that weight are Marlynne Deede and Kenya Lee-Sloan. Deede took third in the NCAA each of the last two years and made the finals last weekend at the U.S. Open; Sloan won an NAIA national title in March. Malea Palahniuk of Cardinal Wrestling Club is also pretty dang good at that weight. At 76 kg, two-time NCAA champ Yelena Makoyed is the one to beat, while the group also includes Army/WCAP's Tristan Kelly, who just put together a solid Senior-level tournament at the U.S. Open with a 5th place finish, and McKendree's Joye Levendusky, a four-time college All-American and two-time NCAA national finalist. She placed third at this event in 2020. Texas Wesleyan's Ashley Lekas is also a talented young college wrestler at this weight.

Dark horses: Keep an eye on Alana Vivas, Hawaii (Menlo Wrestling Club) at 55 kg. She had a big NAIA tournament and could have a big U23 performance. New York's Sofia Macaluso, still only a senior in high school, is a compelling name at 57 kg. She's ranked #1 nationally, she's had a monster year and could beat everyone.

U20 Division

This division features huge brackets loaded with a lot of talent. Here's a look at what to watch for:

Weights to watch: Both 50 kg and 53 kg will be monster weights. 50 kg features King star Sage Mortimer, and young Audrey Jimenez, who is ranked #6 pound-for-pound in all of high school wrestling; California's two-time Super 32 champ Nyla Valencia; Gannon All-American Julianne Moccia, Maryland's 2019 world teamer Alexandra Szkotnicki, Nevada's #5 HS ranked Jenavi Alejandro, Gannon All-American Katerina Pendergrass, #5 HS ranked Kaelani Shufeldt; Southern Oregon All-American Emma Baertlein, and Wyoming Sem hammer Virginia Foard. Wow. There should be plenty of dramatic matches from the Round of 16 and on.

53 kg features Campbellsville's Kelsey Bilz; Presbyterian's Catherine Bertrand; California's 2021 Cadet World champ Katie Gomez; Texas Wesleyan All-American Camille Fournier; #2 HS ranked Elena Ivaldi of California; 2022 NCAA National Finalist Sydney Petzinger (Cardinal WC), and All-American Kendra Ryan (Cardinal WC). Have fun watching that weight.

65 kg is also a battle zone, with NCAA All-American Riley Aamold in the field, along with NY RTC's Maya Letona, who just took third at the U.S. Open; North Carolina Tar Heel Chloe Ogden; NAIA champ Adaugo Nwachukwu; and Campbellsville NAIA national finalist Emma Walker. The weight also features the top 4 nationally ranked high school girls at 144, with #1 HS ranked Reese Larramendy, #2 HS ranked Grace Stem, #3 ranked Kendall Bostelman, and #4 HS ranked Maddie Kubicki all in the field. #6 HS ranked Isabella Mir is also entered.   

Wrestlers to watch: Keep an eye on Washington's Shelby Moore at 57 kg, who's been doing big things over the last year, including doubling up at Fargo last summer. Southern Oregon's Carolina Moreno is at the same weight. She won an NAIA national title in dominant fashion. Some others who should make deep runs and contend for the title: Army/WCAP's Adriana Dorado Marin, Cardinal Wrestling Club All-American Mateah Roehl, and Tornado Wrestling Club's Melanie Mendoza at 55 kg; Texas Wesleyan All-American Devin Patton at 57 kg; East Stroudsburg All-American Mia Macaluso and Tornado Wrestling Club's All-American Montana Delawder at 59 kg; North Central All-American Sara Sulejmani, #4 HS ranked Paige Wehrmeister, and McKendree All-Americans Skye Realin and Emmily Patneaud, all at 62 kg; and Sacred Heart's Madison Sandquist at 68 kg, who took 3rd at the National Collegiate Women's Wrestling Championships. Also watch #4 Sarah Savidge of Colorado 57 kg and #5 Rose Cassioppi at 72 kg. But, of course, with 2021 Junior world champion Amit Elor entered at 72 kg, it's hard to picture anyone beating her. The favorite at 76 kg has to be Army/WCAP's Tristan Kelly. 

Dark horses: This might seem like the easy way out, but there's four names at 57 kg who could play this role: New York's Sofia Macaluso, Grand View All-American Adrienna Turner, Minnesota's Ngao Shoua Whitethorn, and California's Jennifer Soto. Probably none of them would be considered the favorite to win this weight, but they've all won big matches and are capable of upsetting the apple cart. Stay tuned. At 59 kg, watch SaVannah Cosme and Kailey Rees. Hard to consider Cosme a dark horse when she made a Cadet World team last year, but this is a tough Junior weight. Let's see if she can claw her way through this group to make another team.

U17 Division

Weights to watch: 53 kg is a huge weight loaded with young talent. In fact, there are three girls in this group that all won the National Showcase last week at the U.S. Open. #5 (at 106) Karlee Brooks won it at 112; #9 (at 117) Persaeus Gomez just won it at 117; and #5 (at 122) Zao Estrada won it at 122. So expect fireworks at this weight, especially in medal rounds.

65 kg also has some depth. Leading the field are #5 Maggie Graham out of Tennessee; #7 Sydney Perry from Illinois; Wyoming Sem's #8 Faith Bartoszek; and another Tennessee talent, #24 ranked Genesis Gilmore, who made the finals in the 16U division last summer at Fargo.

Wrestlers to watch: We all remember the show that Texas talent Jasmine Robinson put on at Fargo last summer, don't we? Well, she's back, this time at 69 kg. She'll be must-see TV. At the same weight, pay attention to Piper Fowler from Tennessee. She's a talented and tough young wrestler that just won her first Tennessee state title. At 57 kg, keep an eye on Cadence Diduch, an exciting young wrestler from Illinois that had a win last year over Mia Palumbo, a wrestler who just made the finals in college. Florida's Valarie Solorio is entered at 46 kg, a 16U Fargo winner last year. Nevada's Juliana Alejandro is at the same weight and is a contender. At 49 kg, California state champ Anaya Falcon, nationally ranked #2, looks to make a run, while #4 Ava Ward out of Missouri certainly has the firepower to battle for the top spot. 61 kg features #1 Hanna Errthum from Wisconsin, and New York's Alessandra Elliott from the Beat the Streets program, a young woman that won a 16U Fargo title last summer. At 73 kg, #1 Sabrina Nauss out of Michigan is the clear favorite.

Dark horses: Watch 53 kg Reanah Utterback from Iowa. She's won some big matches recently and could do it again at Women's Nationals. Also don't sleep on Indiana freshman Julianna Ocampo at 49 kg. She's tough, already experienced, and can win big matches.
