'25 U17 World Championships, 7/28-8/3
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
Maybe this is the group to change the US greco picture, but strong USA team and greco typically do not go together in a sentence.
This US U17 freestyle team is loaded. Iran and Russia are always tough at this level as well but I think the US has a great shot to win the team title. Keegan Bassett, Ariah Mills, Samuel Sanchez, Aaron Stewart, Gray Burnett, and of course Jayden James are total hammers. Besmer has really come on and Kikiniou is very good at free. The only 2 guys I’m not familiar with at all are at 92kg and 110kg. I usually overestimate the hardware our kids will bring home but I think this team definitely has a few champs
Busy week coming up for Jayden James and Team USA at U17 Worlds. James is only on the men's freestyle team.

I didn’t know that 4 time Olympic champ Kaori Icho is now the Japan women’s age level coach. Pretty cool and should help them continue pumping out elite wrestlers
USA Wrestling Results At The 2025 U17 World Championships - FloWrestling
Results for Team USA at the 2025 U17 World Championships taking place in Athens, Greece, from July 28 through August 3.
2 guys wrestling for bronze (Rundell and Kikiniou)and 2 more can possibly get pulled into repechage. Seems about right and par for the course in regards to our usual greco results
Rundell and Kikiniou both win bronze!! Great tournaments. Both lost first round and then won 3 straight to bring home a medal
Healey loses 1-1 on criteria and will wrestle for bronze. Morgan Turner into the finals with another dominant performance. Up 8-0 and got the fall. Emma Bacon is unfortunately out. She lost her first match to Japan who then lost in the semis. Tough draw
Perennial top 10 baby!!! Just like Rutgres, except this is true
Women's Freestyle Team Standings At The 2025 U17 World Championships - FloWrestling
Team standings for women's freestyle at the 2025 U17 World Championships.
I’m super excited for Morgan Turners final. She is wrestling Yu Kataoka from Japan. In the UWW write up it says that Kataoka has dominated domestically and is undefeated in her international career (won U17 Asians in both 2023 and 2024). Japan continues pumping out elite women and she is supposed to be next. Turner is a 2 time U17 medalist and one time champ though. Both girls have crushed everyone so far this tournament. Neither one has given up a single point. Should be a good one but I’m picking Turner
