Every July, Fargo becomes the center of the wrestling world.
The Fargodome is where careers are launched, rankings are revised, and the next generation of the sport announces itself. The competition is unlike anything else on the calendar: deep brackets, relentless pace, and kids who have spent an entire year preparing for one week on the mat.
At RUDIS, we strive to support those called to fight. Not just as a brand, but as a partner to the athletes and programs who show up ready to compete.
THIRTEEN STATES. HUNDREDS OF ATHLETES.
As the season turns the corner, we’re honored to announce the national teams RUDIS will be outfitting at the 2026 USMC Junior and 16U Nationals in Fargo, North Dakota. This year, RUDIS will gear up athletes representing:
- Hawaii
- Indiana
- Maryland
- Massachusetts
- New York
- North Carolina
- North Dakota
- Ohio
- Oklahoma
- Pennsylvania
- Texas
- Washington
-
West Virginia
“I am extremely excited to outfit the best young athletes in the country at Fargo this summer. Wrestling’s future is built at events like Fargo, and it’s an honor for RUDIS to support the next generation of champions,” said Chance Esmont, Team Sales Director at RUDIS. “This year, RUDIS is proud to outfit 13 state associations, continuing our commitment to providing elite athletes with world-class gear both on and off the mat. The nation’s toughest wrestlers deserve the best apparel and equipment, and we’re proud to deliver that experience at Fargo.”
The athletes stepping onto those mats have earned their spot. They’ve grinded through state and regional competition, sacrificed their summers, and shown up when it would have been easier not to. They represent their coaches, their families, and the states they wear across their chest.
LEGACY MEETS FUTURE
Fargo is a reunion for some, and a fresh start for others. For Team New York, it’s a homecoming. RUDIS and NY-USA have history, and now rejoin forces heading into Fargo. There’s no better place to reunite than the biggest stage in high school wrestling.
“We’re incredibly excited to partner with RUDIS, their commitment to quality and performance aligns perfectly with what NY-USA represents,” said Kris Harrington, NY-USA Chairman. “We’re proud to work alongside a company that shares our passion for growing the sport and supporting the wrestling community.”
For Team Pennsylvania, this is the beginning of a united partnership. PA-USA and RUDIS are partnering for the first time, bringing together two entities that are rooted in the same values. Pennsylvania has one of the strongest wrestling traditions in the country, and this summer their national teams will represent that standard.
“There is no wrestling tradition quite like Pennsylvania’s, and this summer, our national teams will be geared up to match that standard. Much like PA wrestling, RUDIS is rooted in the grit, discipline, and culture of wrestling,” expressed PA-USA Vice Chairman, Chris Atkinson. “This collaboration goes far beyond just providing premium gear; it represents a shared commitment to supporting our athletes and coaches on USA Wrestling’s biggest stages.”
RUDIS is honored to outfit them for this moment.
From the mat to the podium, every athlete deserves to look the part and feel ready to perform. To the young men and women gearing up for Fargo, we wish you the best of luck, and we will see you there.
