Team Outlook

            Indiana’s Greco crews are built for close matches and big upsets. The Juniors bring returning undefeated duals competitors and multiple U20 World Team Trials placers. The 16U roster, while smaller in national name recognition, is technically sound and has several national credentials. Indiana should contend in both divisions and finish high in the team race.
