Help Dennis get to Nationals!!!
Donation protected
Fargo, North Dakota, home of the United States' toughest high school wrestling tournament: Junior and Cadet Nationals. Currently, all but two of NCAA's D1 national champions have competed at this grueling tournament. 82% of NCAA's All-Americans competed at Fargo, many not even seeing the podium. For the non-wrestlers out there: Fargo is a big deal, maybe even the biggest deal there is.
A few weeks ago, a long-time practice partner, teammate, and friend of mine, Dennis Warden, a sophomore from Union Mine High School, traveled down to Fresno to compete for a spot on the California Team at the 2025 Freestyle State Championships. Dennis battled through match after match and made the state finals, automatically qualifying him for a spot on the California team. This 2nd place finish was well deserved. As we prepared for this tournament, I saw him put blood, sweat, and tears into reaching this goal of his. He did it; he qualified for Fargo.
Dennis is now committed to becoming a Fargo Place-winner and All-American in July when the tournament takes place.
Let’s all help Dennis reach his goals and make it easy and stress-free for his family, and allow Dennis to travel and train with the California National Team as they make their way to Junior and Cadet Nationals in Fargo, North Dakota.
