U.S. Olympic Wrestling Trials to be relocated

The U.S. Olympic Wrestling Trials, which had been tentatively scheduled for April 10-11 at Penn State, will be relocated.

USA Wrestling is negotiating a new host, targeting to keep the event in early April and hoping to finalize plans “in the near future.”

The move out of Penn State “was made due to a variety of factors, including current COVID-19 health and safety guidelines and the desire to provide the ability to accommodate all of the participants, staff and fans,” according to USA Wrestling.

Penn State was originally scheduled to host trials on April 4-5, 2020, before it was postponed last March 13 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
