First National Girls High School rankings released
The National Wrestling Hall of Fame, USA Wrestling and FloWrestling on Friday released their first national rankings for high school girls.
The three leading wrestling organizations have partnered to create regular national rankings and will work together to strategically publish rankings throughout the year. Rankings will be on each organization’s website as well as being promoted through each of their different media platforms.
“One of the best ways to grow our sport is through increased participation from female athletes,” said National Wrestling Hall of Fame Executive Director Lee Roy Smith. “We all feel that it is time for our female wrestlers to be awarded the same opportunities as male wrestlers, and having regular national rankings is a positive step towards making that happen.”
The first ranking is prior to the U.S. Marine Corps Junior and Cadet Nationals in Fargo, North Dakota on July 14-22. The final ranking for the 2016-17 season will be published shortly after the U.S. Marine Corps Junior and Cadet Nationals in Fargo.
This ranking will evaluate all girls enrolled in grades 9-12, and include athletes from all 50 states. There are six states which sponsor official girls state high school championships, while many other states are also developing their girls high school programs.
Currently, according to the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS), there were 13,496 girls who wrestled nationally on the high school level, representing 2,000 different high schools. Girls high school wrestling participation has grown for 27 consecutive years, and is expected to continue this growth well into the future.
Coaches, parents and athletes will be encouraged to provide information about specific athletes and their achievements throughout the year for the committee to consider. If they have information on specific girls who should be considered for ranking, please submit it to girlsrankings@usawrestling.org.
