There's no trick and just attending is not some miracle. A wrestler will get beat. If the aspiration is going D1, then making those tournaments part of the annual schedule is the way.
It won't be easy. It will cost money and time to attend and to train for them. Training for them is the biggest challenge. Be prepared to coordinate, liason, and drive lots of miles for training.
This type of pursuit is for a Year round kid and goes way beyond HS season.
Yes, a wrestler will get beat at these events, but then you re-group, make adjustments, and go back the next year. These tournaments not only give you a benchmark of where you stand at the National level, they give you a higher goal and something to work for. Getting beat at these events is inevitable. It's more about how you get beat.
