Team North Carolina brought heart, grit, and growth to the Fargodome. This reflection captures our athletes’ efforts, key takeaways from USMC Nationals, and the deliberate steps we must take to close the gap and rise on the national stage.
Closing the gap requires more than desire. Team NC must focus on earlier international style development, deeper competitive experience, smarter preparation, and consistent execution to rise at USMC Nationals. The work starts now—with intention, strategy, and accountability.
Team NC women made history at Fargo with two All-Americans and bold performances. As participation grows, so does potential. The path forward is clear—more girls, more freestyle, more often, with national goals and collegiate dreams in sight.
Team NC leaves Fargo with renewed clarity and fire. Inspired by Jamel Johnson’s message and driven by experience, our athletes showed heart and growth. The foundation is set—now we build with intention, discipline, and high-level reps year-round.
