West Penn Duals started in 2012 as an 8 team event.  It grew quickly into a premiere national event with teams from all over the country.  Many of the best youth, junior high, and high school wrestlers out of Pennsylvania and surrounding states, have wrestled in WPD.  West Penn Duals is once again back where it should be...in Western PA!
New for 2024 we have added a large format/rapid fire open tournament on Saturday 11/9!  Please click below for more information on the Open!
