First girls high school state tournament in Ohio slated for 2020

Ohio joins the growing list of states which will now have a separate state wrestling tournament for high school girls next year.

The Ohio High School Wrestling Coaches Association (OHSWCA) voted unanimously to officially sponsor a girls’ state wrestling tournament for the upcoming 2019-2020 school year. Ohio’s first girls state wrestling championship will be held February 22-12, 2020 at Hilliard Davidson High School, 5100 Davidson Road in Hilliard, a suburb of Columbus. “It is our goal to make this a first-class event and build it to ’emerging sport status’ with the OHSAA (Ohio High School Athletic Association, the official governing body for high school athletics in Ohio),” said Dean Conley, president of the OHSWCA. “Once we meet the requirements, we plan on handing this over to OHSAA like we did with the state dual tournament.” The OHSAA weighed in with their backing for the event.
