Girls wrestling state championships area finalized

With the continued growth of girls wrestling, the division is now split by classification size, according to the OSAA. There will be an eight-person bracket in each of the 14 weight classes for 6A/5A and 4A/3A/2A/1A.

The girls district qualifying events will be Feb. 3-4 at Century High in Hillsboro for Hood River Valley wrestlers and at Scappoose High for The Dalles wrestlers.

Qualifiers from each weight class — top three for two of the three 6A/5A districts and top four for each of the two 4A/3A/2A/1A districts — will advance to the OSAA State Championships at Portland’s Veterans Memorial Coliseum: 4A/3A/2A/1A will be competing Feb. 23-24; and 6A/5A will compete Feb. 24-25.
