Support Zoeth & Mia's Journey to Fargo Nationals

Please help us sisters get to Fargo Nationals.

What is FARGO Nationals, you ask?

USMC Junior Nationals is the largest wrestling tournament in the world, held annually in Fargo, North Dakota. The tournament is known for its high-level competition and is a key event for us high school athletes aspiring to become collegiate and world competitors. This tournament only utilizes the Olympic styles, Freestyle and Greco-Roman. Women wrestle Freestyle in college, world competitions, and the Olympics! So, Freestyle is an essential skill set for young athletes to learn and master in their younger years. Women's Wrestling is the largest growing sport in the nation and has just become a sanctioned high school sport in NC in 2024 and has become an NCAA championship sport in January 2025.

In order to get to Fargo, all athletes must go through their USA Wrestling state organization to compete, as they set the yearly costs for travel, lodging, and registration. This year’s cost is $1900 per athlete, making it $3800 for both of us. So no donation is too small and all donations are immensely appreciated by us.
