Tomorrow, the 2023 U20 World Championships will get underway from Amman, Jordan. The United States will send an incredibly tough contingent with lots of previous international experience across all three styles. Altogether, 12 of the 30 wrestlers donning red, white, and blue singlets have won at least one age group world medal during their young careers. That number should increase a week from now.
