Beat the Streets Athletes Qualify for Prestigious Fargo Tournament

Guest author: Jacob Murrie

On May 25, Beat the Street Chicago’s Windy City Stars competed in USA Wrestling’s Central Regional championship tournament in Ada, Ohio. Regional championships provide youth wrestlers an opportunity to qualify for the USA Marine Corps Junior Nationals in Fargo, North Dakota. This tournament is incredibly prestigious, one of the toughest in the world, and it is incredibly difficult to qualify for.

Two of Chicago’s own Windy City Stars, will make the trek to Fargo, July 12-19. Matthew Ridley finished in third place, earning a qualifying spot, while Noel Rosales dominated his bracket en route to a decisive first place finish. 

Other Windy City Stars won several matches, and each team member improved greatly from their first to last match.

The weekend provided the Windy City Stars with another opportunity for some tough matches and strong competition, readying the team for the Beat the Streets National Duals which were hosted in Chicago on June 1st.
