Once again, USA Wrestling will publish regular update on the 2022-23 state high school champions for both boys and girls.

Winning a state high school title is an amazing achievement for a high school student-athlete. We will post the champions from official state high school championships for boys, as well as the girls who have won official state high school titles, as well as the recognized state competitions which are not run by their state high school association. We will also post the team champions at the state level as available. As available, we will include the state champion’s year in school and final record.

Last week, New York held its first Girls State Invitational in Syracuse. There were 13 weight classes, and champions came from 13 different high schools across the state.

This past week’s state champions are marked in bold. Below are the previous state champions from this season, listed by state in alphabetical order.

Note: February is the busiest month for state high school competitions. We look forward to expanding this list as each state holds its competition.
