19 national team true-3rd matches added prior to Final X

World medalists Alyssa Lampe and Daton Fix, plus two-time Olympian Ben Provisor will be featured.

USA Wrestling will conduct 19 National Team true third-place matches prior to the start of Session I of Final X, presented by Tezos, on Saturday, June 10 at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.

These wrestle-off matches will determine the No. 3 athlete on the 2023-24 Senior National Team at specific weight classes in all three Olympic disciplines: men’s and women’s freestyle, and Greco-Roman. Winning a spot on the Senior National Team is important and valuable, as the top three in each weight class earn stipend support and a chance to win bonus funds, based upon performance, as well as receive access to international tours and National Team training camps.

The National Team true third-place matches will begin at 12:30 p.m. ET. The doors open for Final X ticketholders at noon, so fans who come at that time will be able to enjoy these additional matches.

There will be seven men’s freestyle bouts, six women’s freestyle bouts and six Greco-Roman bouts among the true third-place matches.

Among those in National Team true third-place matches are two-time World bronze medalist Alyssa Lampe at 50 kg in women’s freestyle and 2021 World silver medalist Daton Fix at 61 kg in men’s freestyle. Two-time Olympian Ben Provisor at 82 kg in Greco-Roman will also be featured.

Past Senior World Team members going for true third are Maya Nelson at 59 kg, Dymond Guilford at 76 kg and Kylie Welker at 76 kg in women’s freestyle, plus Sammy Jones at 63 kg and RaVaughn Perkins at 77 kg in Greco-Roman.

Final X, which includes the top two U.S. athletes in 30 weight classes (10 in each Olympic discipline) will begin at 2 p.m.

It is the second straight year Final X will serve as the Beat the Streets New York Annual Benefit. This year’s event will be the 13th BTSNY Annual Benefit. These unique and electrifying annual events help BTSNY raise more than $1 million each year to support local youth wrestling programs which empower young people in New York City. The BTSNY Annual Benefit after-party will follow the conclusion of Final X.

Benefit tickets and sponsorship packages (Final X plus exclusive after-party celebration access), that also provide the best wrestling-event seats, are available at give.btsny.org/beatthestreetsbenefit2023. For more information on ticket packages, email Katrin Pokalyukhin at katrin@btsny.org.

Proceeds from Benefit tickets and sponsorship packages will directly help BTSNY, which provides a safe, positive atmosphere for student-athletes to learn the essential life lessons of discipline, perseverance, self-reliance, humility and a strong work ethic through wrestling.

Event-only tickets for Final X without access to the BTSNY after-party celebration are available on Ticketmaster.
