High School On SI National Girls Wrestling Rankings: Fargo Weight Class Update
The latest High School On SI girls wrestling rankings have been updated to reflect Fargo weight classes ahead of the U.S. Marine Corps Junior Nationals, with one final update to follow after the tournament.
With the U.S. Marine Corps Junior Nationals in Fargo set to begin, we’ve aligned our girls national wrestling rankings with the weight classes competitors will wrestle at the tournament. Wrestlers who are not competing in Fargo remain eligible for these postseason rankings, which continue to reflect the entire 2025-26 ranking period.
As with our boys rankings, inactivity alone was not a factor in moving wrestlers down the rankings. Athletes who completed the high school season or have remained active during the spring and summer were not penalized simply because they are not traveling to Fargo. However, competitors who wrestle in Fargo may move up based on their performances, which can result in others sliding down despite not competing.
These rankings do not include any Fargo results. We used tournament brackets only to confirm weight-class placement and did not evaluate match outcomes, so any results from the tournament will be reflected in our final rankings update following Fargo.
Our final 2026 postseason rankings will be released after Fargo. The first rankings for the 2026-27 season will debut in August.
