    We are under a week away from the 16U and Junior National Championships from the FargoDome in Fargo, North Dakota. The tournament affectionately called, simply "Fargo." Even with the proliferation of "national-level" tournaments seemingly every weekend, Fargo has stood the test of time and is in a league of it's own. Still the purest form of an "All-American" honor for the high school level, Fargo is the setting for many of tomorrow's stars.

    With that being said, many of the 2022 NCAA DI All-Americans also had success in Fargo. Just how much? Below are 2022 NCAA DI All-Americans who finished in the top-eight in at least one style/age group during their time in Fargo. As you can see, there are a high percentage of college AA's that were Fargo All-Americans.
