This year, a new award within
the Championship Belt Series
has been created, to recognize
the efforts of women wrestlers
on the age-group levels.
The Women's Age-Group Champ-
ionship Belt Series honors the
achievements of female wrestlers on the
FILA Cadet, FILA junior and University
levels. Included are USA Wrestling age-
group national and international events.
At this time, the award will combine all
three age levels together. When the
schedule for each age group is expanded
in the future, a separate award program
will be developed for each age level.
The top point scorer in the series
receives a handsome plaque.

junior World Championships at 138.75
pounds. She also won a pair of USA
Wrestling age-group national titles,

World Team Trials at 138.75 pounds, as

The Belt Series is based upon a point
system, rewarding athletes for actual
success in competition. Athletes who
place in the major USA Wrestling events
scored points in the series.
Each event is weighed according to
importance and difficulty, in order to
determine the most successful wrestler
during the season. A wrestler also
receives points for receiving the Most
Outstanding Wrestler award and Most
Falls award at the events.
