The two non-Olympic weight classes of 71 kilos/156.5 pounds and 80 kilos/176 pounds will compete in the U.S. World Team Trials phase II in Fargo, N.D. in July.
Two athletes will sit out of the challenge tournament and advance directly to the best-of-three championship series on Friday night based on winning the U.S. Open and placing in the top five at last year's World Championships. Spenser Mango will await the challenge tournament winner at 59 kilos/130 pounds and Robby Smith will do the same at 130 kilos/286 pounds
Every member of the 2013 U.S. Greco-Roman World Team will be competing in Daytona Beach.
Champions at the World Team Trials will compete at the World Championships in Tashkent, Uzbekistan in September.
The event will be webcast LIVE on Flowrestling.org, on its Flo Pro platform. Results will be found on TrackWrestling.com, as well as on TheMat.com.
