LAS VEGAS, Nev. – The athletes have weighed in for all three of the Olympic styles at the 2014 ASICS/Las Vegas Senior Open Wrestling Championships, which will be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nev., April 18-19.
A final seeding meeting was held for men's freestyle, Greco-Roman and women's freestyle to determine the seeds after weighins concluded.

The number of athletes seeded in each weight class were determined by the committees. Greco-Roman and women's freestyle have chosen to seed four athletes in each weight class. The men's freestyle committee seeded a different number of athletes in each weight, based upon the depth in that weight class.
