High school girls wrestling took center stage on Saturday, Feb. 14. It was the regional championship around the Sunflower State. While claiming regional titles were important, qualifying for the state championship was equally as important.
The top eight wrestlers in each weight class qualified for the state championship. The state wrestling championships will be held on Feb. 27-28.
The regional tournament for boys wrestling will take place next week.
