Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back! Can you believe it’s already NCAA wrestling season again?! This year Week 1 is unique, in that the span is only two days but jam-packed with competition. 58 of the 77 D1 programs scheduled to compete, with 12 of last year’s Top-20 in play. While there’s only a handful of duals, we have six tournaments on tap to get the season rolling: Clarion Open, Cowboy Invite, Hurst Open, Navy Classic, Princeton Open, and the Southeast Open, with some other less D1-friendly tournaments (ESU Open and Jimmie Open) that won't really benefit you in the fantasy boxscore at the end of the day. A reminder of some important rules: Wrestlers entered at a weight must compete at that weight or else their results will not be counted. Wrestlers in the “Floater” spots can compete at ANY weight and accumulate Fantasy points. A wrestler will LOCK on your roster at 12pm ET on the day of their first competition for the week. (refer to the SHP’s Week Preview) Only results against D1 competition (starters, backups, and redshirts) will count towards Fantasy Points.

It was hard to top the first day of men’s freestyle competition at the 2026 World Championships, but the American squad might have accomplished that feat. On Thursday, Bo Bassett and Kyle Snyder defeated world champions from Russia along their paths to the world finals. Today, both completed their runs with gold medals. Additionally, four of their team members started their tournaments and each is still in medal contention. Friday’s finals featured one of the prodigies of a past generation teaming up with the current “next big thing” to claim gold medals as Snyder and Bassett took the mat. Each finished their tournaments in different ways, but each was fitting given their history and reputation. Bassett took the mat first against Armenian veteran Vazgen Tavanyan, a two-time Olympian and one-time world bronze medalist. The Armenian made the finals after a controversial last-second win over returning champion Rahman Amouzad of Iran. Tavanyan was given a point for a caution on Amouzad for failing to engage during the final seconds of their semifinal contest, which turned the bout in Tavanyan’s favor. The Tavanyan/Bassett matchup was always going to be a contrast in styles. Bassett is known for his motor, pace, and variety and frequency of offensive attacks. Tavanyan is more measured with his offense and is generally defensive minded. In a sign of things to come, Bassett finally was able to penetrate through Tavanyan’s defense and secure a takedown during the final seconds of the opening period. Though he held a 2-1 lead, Bassett only turned up the pressure offensively in the second and netted three additional takedowns, along with a point for a head slap from Tavanyan. For the final three seconds of the match, Bassett allowed the time to run out and began to savor the victory. Those were potentially the only three seconds of the bout in which Bassett was not furiously trying to set up an attack. With his win, Bassett now has two world titles in 2026 - one at the U20 age group and this one at Seniors. It likely washes the sour taste out of his mouth after a medal-less showing at the U23 World Championships earlier this month. Bassett became the first American to win a world title at the 65/66 kg range since current head coach Bill Zadick won a world championship in 2006. If Bassett is known for pace and overall domination, Snyder has become synonymous with engineering clutch comeback wins. The veteran added another incredible comeback to his resume as he escaped from a 4-0 hole and shocked Japan’s Arash Yoshida with under :30 left in their 97 kg final. After getting frustrated with Yoshida’s head/hands defense and ability to wiggle out of danger, Snyder finally broke through his Japanese opponents defense and finished a single leg at the edge of the match with :24 seconds remaining in the contest. He nearly got four points for the finish, but wasn’t able to challenge the ruling due to a lost challenge in the previous sequence. That didn’t end up mattering as Snyder stayed extremely active and was able to create a situation where he got a go-behind to tie the bout at four, but he went ahead on criteria. Snyder nearly turned Yoshida in a gut wrench, but that effort from par terre milked the final seconds on the clock and Snyder won a 4-4 match. The win gives Snyder his fifth world championship and sixth world/Olympic title. That combination of six puts him in a tie with legends John Smith and Adeline Gray, one behind Jordan Burroughs. He now has 11 world/Olympic medals and has left with hardware in every World/Olympic event since 2015, but one. Speaking of adding to medals and legacy, Kyle Dake will be looking to do that tomorrow as he advanced to the world finals at 86 kg. Dake grinded out a workmanlike 6-3 victory over young Russian star Ibragim Kadiev in the semifinals. In the finals, Dake will face Azerbaijan’s Arsenii Dzhioev, a bronze medalist from the 2025 tournament. Dzhioev has a win over Dake earlier this year at the Muhamet Malo Ranking Series event; however, Kadiev also beat him during that tournament, as well. Both Zain Retherford (70 kg) and Wyatt Hendrickson (125 kg) advanced to the semifinals before suffering a loss, so both will drop down to bronze medal matches. Marcus Blaze (61 kg) fell in the quarterfinals but was pulled back into repechage, so he’ll need to win a match before wrestling for the bronze.

Coming into Friday’s medal round matches, the USA women’s freestyle team needed to win one of their two gold medal matches to clinch a team title over the Japanese squad. They also had the opportunity to win if Japan’s athlete at 55 kg lost her bronze medal match, but their destiny was in their own hands. Any drama surrounding the team competition was squashed in the first gold medal match of the day as 19-year-old Everest Leydecker captured the gold medal at 55 kg. Leydecker’s bout with Ukraine’s Nataliia Klivchutska wasn’t necessarily one for the highlight reels, but it produced the correct result for the young American star and her team. The pair were generally risk averse for most of the contest and spent the bulk of the six minutes handfighting and fighting a positional battle. In the second period, Klivchutska was put on the activity clock for a second time and failed to score, which gave Leydecker a 2-1 lead. After that point was awarded and Leydecker had the advantage, Klivchutska opened up and tried a leg attack. Leydecker stuffed the attempt and whipped her across her back for a set of exposure points and a 4-1 lead. The American continued to display her stout defense for the remainder of the contest and it ended with that score. Leydecker captured a world title in her first appearance at the Senior World Championships. Also in 2026, Leydecker won her second consecutive U20 world title and was a bronze medalist at the U23 championships earlier this month. The women’s freestyle portion of the tournament concluded with the 59 kg gold medal matchup between Abby Nette and India’s Manisha Bhanwala. Nette got an early lead with a point from an activity clock violation, followed by a single leg finish at the edge of the mat for four points and a 5-0 lead. Unfortunately for Nette, that lead evaporated during the second period and Bhanwala rallied for an 8-6 victory, making her India’s first Senior world champion in women’s freestyle. Nette settled for a silver medal in her second Senior world team appearance. The title for the US women’s freestyle team is their first since 1999. This finish comes a year after the American women took fourth place at the 2025 World Championships in Zagreb. With titles from Leydecker and Adaugo Nwachukwu (62 kg), it’s the first time since 2022 that multiple American women have won gold at a World Championship event. Six of the ten women on the 2026 team will return to the United States with a medal.

In the coming months, you are going to hear a lot of conversations about ducking, dodging and the relative lack of importance placed on the regular season. Many will be whiny fans, which we need. Others will have good points. Is it time to rethink the regular season for NCAA DI wrestling? Can we make it more important? Do events like the National Duals and Mid Major Duals help the cause? What if we did something a little more out of the box? Here is an article I wrote two years ago on the subject So, the first inaugural "Mid Major" Duals is in the books and it got me thinking. How do we make this event important? How do we incentivize teams to attend? In fact- I have the same thoughts about other events. How do we make the regular season matter, period. To me there are two solutions. 1 - Prize money. It is getting more "legalish" to do this. Bowl games pay schools. Why not? The simple reason is there just isn't as much $$ to go around in our sport and most if it is being spent by wealthy donors with a strong stake in making their pet program better. And that's great. But is there a donor or two out there that could put up $ for winning an event like this? Or the weight classes in Vegas, or Scuffle? Perhaps. But let's assume we aren't there yet. So the other solution is... 2 - Allocate NCAA tourney bids at in season events. Imagine if UNI got a bid at every weight for winning the mid major duals? Changes things, doesn't it? Heck, I'd go a step further and give a bid to the individual champs at Vegas, Midlands and Scuffle too. That's 4 bids out of 33 at each weight that are determined through the year. Get the rest settled at conferences. Sounds crazy? A - other sports do things like this B - international wrestling does things like this as well. I think it is two-fold positive. It's good for the fans, as more teams would wrestle their best guys hoping to get "qualification" out of the way early. It's good for programs and athletes to have the chance to lock in bids. I'd actually allow each conference dual champ to send their whole team, all 10 weights as well, but that's probably a bit too extreme for the current thought process. But man, it would make duals matter. Are we ready for something like this? Probably not. Do we need to do something different if we want in season events to matter. We do.

After some ups and downs during the first couple of days of competition at the 2026 Senior World Championships, Thursday was an excellent day for the American team. Both for the men’s and women’s freestyle teams. Thursday saw the final two women’s weight classes begin competition, while the first two men’s freestyle brackets go underway, as well. In both instances, the two American men and women who started their tournaments today each advanced to Friday’s gold medal matches. If that wasn’t enough, later in the session Adaugo Nwachukwu captured the first gold medal of the 2026 tournament for the Americans. Nwachukwu displayed some last-second heroics during her 12-11 victory over two-time world champion and 2024 Olympic bronze medalist Nonoka Ozaki (Japan). During their back-and-forth affair, the two exchanged four-point throws and action-packed sequences. Ozaki came from a 5-0 first-period deficit to take the late lead 11-9. With :14 seconds remaining on the restart, Nwachukwu pushed the pace and was finally able to hustle her way into a takedown during the final few seconds. The takedown gave her criteria and an 11-11 victory. The Japanese corner challenged the flurry; however, the call was upheld, making the final score 12-11. This was Nwachukwu’s first Senior World medal in only her second appearance at the event. Earlier this month, she finished as the silver medalist at the U23 World Championships. Nwachukwu’s win is the first by an American woman over a Japanese opponent in a world or Olympic final since Tamyra Mensh-Stock defeated Ami Ishii for a world title in 2022. In addition to Nwachukwu, Kennedy Blades also grabbed some hardware on Thursday. She posted two wins on the day, one via tech and a fall in her medal round match to claim a bronze medal in the 68 kg weight class. It’s the second straight year that Blades earns a bronze medal at the World Championships. Cristelle Rodriguez-Dobler (53 kg) and Precious Wieser (72 kg) each wrestled in a bronze medal match, but came up just short. One of the most anticipated weight classes of the entire tournament starts this morning as action took place at the 97 kg men’s freestyle bracket. It is a group that contains four past Olympic gold medalists and a handful of legendary figures. Two of those collided in the quarterfinals as Kyle Snyder won the latest round in his rivalry with Russia’s Abdulrashid Sadulaev. As he’s been known to do, Snyder had to come from behind to get the latest win over his Russian rival. Sadulaev got a takedown midway through the second period to take a 4-1 lead. That didn’t last as Snyder was able to score twice from a front headlock position - once with a takedown and the other netted a step out point. The 4-4 match went Snyder’s way on criteria. After being Sadulaev, Snyder cruised to a 5-0 victory over Poland’s Zbigniew Baranowski to make the world finals. There he’ll face Japan’s Arash Yoshida. Yoshida defeated Snyder at a Ranking Series tournament in 2025; however, Snyder got revenge with a win in the 2025 World semifinals. The Japanese wrestler went on to win his first Senior world medal (bronze). Speaking of comebacks, the other American men’s freestyle wrestler, Bo Bassett, staged one for the ages in the quarterfinals. Facing Russia’s Abasgadzhi Magomedov, Bassett trailed 12-3 early in the second period. Bassett never wavered and outscored the Russian 11-1 during the final two minutes of the match to take the match, 14-13. The finals appearance comes less than two weeks after a disappointing medal-less showing from Bassett at the U23 World Championships. For the gold medal, Bassett will face Armenia’s Vazgen Tevanyan, a two-time Olympian and world bronze medalist. From one young sensation to the next, in women’s freestyle, Everest Leydecker also advanced to a gold medal match on Friday. Leydecker posted a steady 6-1 victory over Japan’s Nagisa Harada in the 55 kg semifinals. Like Bassett, Leydecker’s finish at the Senior tournament has already surpassed her result at the recent U23 World Championships (bronze). Finally, veteran Abby Nette emphatically clinched her first Senior world medal and a trip to tomorrow’s final with a fall over Ukraine’s Mariia Vynnyk in the semifinals. Vynnyk was the returning world silver medalist at 59 kg. Leading 4-0, Nette held a Russian tie and Vynnyk tried to shoot through the hold. That proved to be unsuccessful and Nette drove her right to her back. After a prolonged fight from Vynnyk, Nette finally got the fall.
