A look into the future of High School Wrestling
Every year, many people wonder what wrestlers and teams will be contending for a High School State Championship in years to come. Now, with the Ohio Divisional State Championships, we can take a peek into the future of Ohio High School wrestling.
The Divisional Wrestling State Championships is a tournament in addition to the already existing Grade School and Junior High State Tournaments
How is the Divisional Wrestling State Championships structured?
-
There are 3 classes of wrestling which group wrestlers based on the school the wrestlers will be attending in High School. If your wrestlers High School is a Division I school, he will be entering the OAC Class AAA School (or triple A) tournament; if his High School is a Division II school, he will be entering the OAC Class AA (or Double A) tournament; if his High School is a Division III school, he will be entering the OAC Class A (or single A) tournament.
-
Each Class will be competing separately. They will not be competing against either of the other 2 classes. This is exactly how the High School is structured.
-
These 3 Classes are then grouped into Divisions by the wrestler’s Grade level; not birth year.
Jr. High = grades 7 & 8
Divisional D4= 6th Grade & under
Divisional D3= 4th Grade & under
Grade School (2 Divisions by Grade) = 6th Grade and under, 4th Grade & under
-
Wrestlers must register for a District tournament prior to registering for Divisional State.
