Wrestlers, Coaches and Parents,

 

Based on the information and guidance we have received, TNUSAW will be following USA Wrestling's guidance and postponing all events THROUGH APRIL 20TH, 2020. 

 

We will continue to be fluid with the remainder of the season as we continue to monitor the CDC, TN Dept of Health, and local school systems. This is unchartered territory for everyone and we want to ensure due diligence.

 

It is HIGHLY recommended that member clubs first follow state recommendations including local health departments and local school systems regarding practice. Our message must be unified and we want to communicate SAFETY first. 

 

The Team Tennessee USA Wrestling’s Executive Board has also followed USA Wrestling’s lead and began categorizing our events into "ESSENTIAL" and "NON-ESSENTIAL".

 

Essential Events are events required to develop any TN National Teams as well as our State Level Events. Non-essential events are all other regional events.

 

TNUSAW WRESTLING ESSENTIAL EVENTS:

 

1) TBD TN Ironman Championship 

2) May 2 TN FR/GR State Championships

 

Note: given the current circumstances we want to encourage an available regional event for extended mat time and seeding points at National level events:

 

1)  May 14-16 Western Regional Championships

2)  May 15-17 Central Regional Championships

3)  May 15-17 Northern Plains Regional           Championships

4)  May 22-24 Southeast Regional Championships

 

This is consistent with USA Wrestling’s procedure to seek guidance from the local health department, as well as its number one priority being the health and safety of its members.

 

ADDITIONAL NON-STATE ANNOUNCEMENT 

 

POSTPONED – The USMC U.S. Open in Las Vegas will be postponed, with plans to reschedule

 

USA Wrestling has postponed the 2020 U.S. Marine Corps U.S. Open, which was scheduled to take place at the South Point Hotel, Casino and Spa in Las Vegas, Nevada, April 21-26.

 

The U.S. Open includes a number of major national-level competitions, including:

·       UWW Junior Nationals (April 23-25)

·       UWW Cadet Nationals (April 21-23)

·       UWW U15 Nationals (April 21-23)

·       UWW Futures Nationals (April 23-25)

·       Masters Nationals (April 23-25)

 

TNUSAW is working to reschedule as many events as we lose given these dire circumstances. We want to do what is best for the state as well as our memberships. We are also looking at a series of clinics to complement times lost.  Again, SAFETY is of our utmost priority  

 

Please stay tuned for more information.
