    2024 Fargo Preview for EIWA Recruits

    Fargo aka 16U and Junior Nationals is upon us. The largest wrestling tournament in the world is set to kick off on Saturday with the women’s freestyle portion of the tournament. Last year’s version of Fargo included over 7,000 participants! 

    To get ready for Fargo, we’re looking at the tournament from a collegiate perspective. A recruiting perspective. Over the next few days, we’ll go conference-by-conference to look at recruits from each school who have signed up for the tournament. 

    Next up is the EIWA. 2024-25 will have a new-look conference. The Ivy League schools, previously in the EIWA, branched out on their own and will qualify through the Ivy League tournament. Even without those seven schools, the EIWA is still large with 11 schools. The conference had one team (#25 Bucknell) make InterMat's 2024 Recruiting rankings and another (Lehigh) listed amongst the honorable mentions. Lehigh led the current EIWA's schools with a 15th place finish at the 2024 NCAA Championships. 

    Recruits have been grouped by team. They are listed alphabetically alongside the weight listed in USA Wrestling’s registration, the state they represent, and their graduating class. The # next to a wrestler’s name denotes their MatScouts Big Board ranking in their respective class. 

    We’ve sorted through six or seven thousand entries to bring you these previews, so there could be a recruit or two that slipped through the cracks. If that’s the case, please let me know. Earl@matscouts.com 

    Additionally, no preview or historical analysis for anything Fargo-related could be done without some assistance from Jason Bryant’s massive Fargo Guide. There’s still time to get yours!
