Has there ever been a better time or era in USA Wrestling than now … after the men’s and women’s freestyle teams combined to win 15 overall medals, including seven gold medals, in 20 weight classes at the 2022 UWW World Championships the past month in Belgrade, Serbia?

There were wall-to-wall storylines coming out of the Worlds for Team USA. The top one was Jordan Burroughs’ historic seventh World/Olympic title, breaking John Smith’s all-time U.S. record of six.

You will find many stories on this historic event … as well as preseason previews of the top college and high school programs and wrestlers … in the latest issue of WIN Magazine, which was recently printed and is also now available in digital form.
