Helen Maroulis will not compete at Beat the Streets New York Annual Benefit, Final X
The 2016 Olympic champion and three-time World champion will not compete because of medical reasons.
2016 Olympic champion and three-time World champion Helen Maroulis (Tempe, Ariz./Sunkist Kids) has received a delay of her 57 kg women’s freestyle Final X series for medical reasons.
Maroulis, a 2022 World silver medalist, was scheduled to face Xochitl Mota-Pettis (Humble, Texas/Rise RTC) in Final X on Saturday, June 10 at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
Maroulis notified USA Wrestling and followed all of the proper procedures under the Athlete Selection Procedures, 2023 Senior World Team, 2023 Senior Pan American Games – Women’s Freestyle, 1.2.2, which includes the following:
Only a 2022 Senior World Championship medalist who earned an automatic berth into Final X or a 2022 Senior Women’s Freestyle World Championship medalist who relinquished their automatic berth by who wins the 2023 U.S. Open in the same weight category, can request a delay of the Final X for medical reasons. This request must be submitted as set forth below at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled weigh-in time (no request for delay will be allowed or granted otherwise).
The site and date of this Final X best-of-three series has yet to be determined.
The winner of each Final X Championship Series will represent Team USA at the Senior World Championships in Belgrade, Serbia, Sept. 16-24.
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.

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.
