Next on the calendar is the 2026 USA U20 World Team Trials. It's taking place at the Spire Academy, in Geneva, OH.

There is a Challenge Tournament in the middle of the day (10 am EDT - 2:30 pm EDT). The winner of the Challenge Tournament in each weight class will advance to face the winner of the weight class at the U20 US Open, which took place in April, in a best-of-3 competition later on Friday (4:00 pm EDT - 7:00 pm EDT) to become the USA representative at U20 Worlds.

Please use this thread for all pre-tournament, in-tournament, and post-tournament discussion.

Cam Howard is entered at 70kg. He is already the U17 rep. I would love to see how he does against Robideau

Asher is in at 79kg. Hopefully he gets a rematch in the best of the 3 final against Burton

Also from a PSU perspective:

65 kg: Clinton Shepherd could face U17 world silver Arseni Kikiniou (Cornell 2027) in the challenge tournament. Iowa commit Dawson Youngblut also in the field.

86 kg: challenge tourney loaded with Mario Hutcherson, NCAA 5th Brock Mantanona, Aaron Stewart (Illinois 2026), and Michael White (OKST 2026).

Michael White should go up to 92kg for this. He’s not beating Sinclair but he could beat Mastny to make the team at 92kg

I think White is preparing to go 184 next year and wants to see how the weight management feels like

I get that but it makes more sense to make a world team than make 86kg for just 1 tournament in the off season. I’m sure he thinks he can win at either weight but the difference in beating Sinclair or Mastny is huge. It will be good for him to test himself against Sinclair but I don’t give him much of a chance
