Talented US Squad Set to Kick Off 2026 International Beach Competitions
Panama City, Panama– 2025 U17 World Team member Talon Worden isn’t new to beach wrestling. Then again, he’s not “old” either. Last summer Worden represented Team USA as the youngest member of the U17 delegation competing in Katerini, Greece.
Next weekend Worden is back on the sand to help lead the US contingent of two men and five women in the first major international beach event of the season.
On the men’s side, Rodney Sabin and U17 Beach World team member Talon Worden make up the U.S. squad competing in beach wrestling.
On the women’s side, Joaquin Chacon, Ryder Schulte, Aleia Apostol, Aubree Gutierrez and Matilda Hruby will look to continue Team USA’s strong success in women’s age group competitions. All will compete in other styles during the week as well.
Beach wrestling is one of three styles offered at this year’s Pan-American Championships. For a complete look at the delegation headed to Panama City, CLICK HERE to read David Gerhart of USA Wrestling’s preview.
