Anthony Echemendia from Team Arizona (front) wrestles and wins against Edward Scott from Team Pennsylvania during the US Marine Corps Cadet and Junior National Championships in Fargo, North Dakota, July 19, 2019. USA Wrestling (USAW) is the national governing body for the sport of wrestling and is the central organization that coordinates amateur wrestling programs in the nation and works to create interest and participation in these programs. The Marine Corps began partnering with USAW in 2017 to become intimately involved with the sport of wrestling through event activations, event branding and brand exposure through media. By partnering specifically with USAW, the Marine Corps reaches a broad cross-section of high school and collegiate-aged wrestlers as well as an ever-growing influencer network of coaches, referees, wrestling alumni and parents.
