PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Several student-athletes from Rutgers wrestling will compete at the 2022 Team USA U20 and U23 World Team Trials on Saturday and Sunday in Geneva, Ohio. The champion in each U20 (JR) and U23 weight class qualifies to represent the United States at the 2022 UWW World Championships.
Wrestling begins Saturday morning at 9:30 a.m. ET and runs throughout the day. FloWrestling will provide a live stream of the two-day tournament, while FloArena will have live results. Nico Messina (61 kg), Dylan Shawver (61 kg), Sammy Alvarez (65 kg), Devon Britton (65 kg), Tony White (70 kg), John Poznanski (86 kg), Kyle Epperly (92 kg) and Boone McDermott (HWT) are all scheduled to compete at the Spire Institute.

RU qualified seven to the 2022 NCAA Championships – the most since 2017 – and had all participants score at the national tournament.
