American U17/Cadet World Medalists Since 2011

Don’t look now, but we’re right around the corner from the start of World Championship-season with U17 World’s getting underway from Istanbul, Turkey on Monday. Greco-Roman will lead off the competition. It will be hard for the American team to top the performance from 2022, as the US came away with 14 medals. For the first time since the U17/Cadet World Championships were reinstated in 2011, we brought home at least two medals in all three styles.
