college wrestling

     

Collegiate wrestling (sometimes known as scholastic wrestling or folkstyle wrestling) is the commonly-use name of the style of amateur wrestling practiced at the college and university level in the United States. This style, with slight modifications, is also practiced at the high school and middle school levels, and also among younger participants. The term is used to distinguish the styles of wrestling used in other parts of the world, and from those of the Olympic Games: Freestyle wrestling and Greco-Roman wrestling.
