This overlaps with Junior Duals don't it?

LOL,,,yes it does conflict with
JR. DUALS

USAW ASICS KIDS NATIONALS FS/GR

Idaho JR dual camp

Citris 3 style tourn in FL

There is also another large AAU tournament in Wisconsin i believe.

I'm sure the elite division will have much weaker competition with the Junior Duals in OKC.

Dam...maybe I should compete, I might actually win!

I believe even with the Junior Duals, and various other Tournaments at this time there will still be a strong showing in the Elite Division from California, Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Florida, Idaho, New Jersy, Illinios, the Dakatos, and Nebraska. And seeing how at this time of the season, only the dedicated hardcore wrestlers are wrestling. Every Tournament has top class competition. And from some of the quick pins, and scores I saw from the Cadet Team Duals there most of been a conflicting tournament with this also and someone most of sent their weaker competition?

Dont look for much from California and much of the southwest,,,,AAU Junior Olympics is this coming weekend. I will probably be easier for most places to fly into Cali than Omaha.
