I am proud to share that I have qualified to be a member of the 2026 USA Wrestling–Ohio National Team. This team is made up of the top Freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestlers in the state for my age group, with selection based on performance at the USA Wrestling State Championships and prior achievements. In addition to the opportunity to represent Ohio at the prestigious Fargo National Championships in both Freestyle and Greco-Roman, I have also been selected to the Ohio 16U Greco National Dual Team, which will compete in Utah June 9-13.

The Fargo National Championships, held at North Dakota State University from July 10 - 19th, are among the most competitive wrestling events in the country. I will attend an intensive training camp with my teammates beginning July 5th, and consistent preparation throughout the summer to ensure I am ready to compete at the highest level. Similarly, the National Duals in Utah will bring together top teams from across the nation, providing another opportunity to represent Ohio on a national stage.

These opportunities are a tremendous honor, but they also come with significant financial commitment. Between training, travel, lodging, entry fees, and related expenses, the total cost will exceed $2,300. Due to the demanding training schedule leading up to these events, earning the necessary funds in a short period of time will be challenging.

I am respectfully asking for your support to help make this opportunity possible. Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated.

Representing my community, school, and the state of Ohio is something I take great pride in. I am committed to training hard, competing with integrity, and continuing Ohio’s tradition of excellence on the national stage. Your support will not only help me reach these goals but also contribute to my development both as an athlete and as an individual.

Thank you for your time, consideration, and support.

Sincerely,

Max Holley
