Medal Count Criteria
The Purler Wrestling Academy Medal Count is a compilation of our State and National medalists since PWA began on November 1, 1999. It includes State medalists from the USA Missouri State Championships as well as the Illinois State Championships. It includes both youth and high school PWA members. There is some discrepancy among wrestlers, parents, and coaches regarding the National events and what exactly qualifies for All-American honors. The PWA Medal Count includes the following youth and high school 'National Events'.

YOUTH
Cliff Keen Kickoff Classic, Tulsa Nationals, USA Nationals (Folkstyle, Freestyle, and Greco-Roman), Brute Nationals, Ohio Tournament of Champions, USGWA (girls) Nationals and NHSCA Folkstyle. The All-American Medal Count DOES NOT include every tournament that has the word NATIONAL in it. Only the above National Events are counted.

HIGH SCHOOL
Cadet Nationals, Fila-Cadet Nationals, Junior Nationals, Fila-Junior Nationals, and High School Folkstyle Nationals.

*Medal count does not include MO/IL State Freestyle/Greco-Roman events.
