NSAA approves girls wrestling

IMPERIAL REPUBLICAN, June 2 — The Nebraska Schools Activities Association has sanctioned girls wrestling for the upcoming 2021-2022 school year.

In 2019, a proposal to sanction the sport fell one vote short. Last year, the NSAA recognized girls wrestling as an emerging sport.

During their May 19 board meeting, the NSAA board of directors voted 8-0 to fully sanction the sport.

One class of girls’ wrestling championships will be held with the boys Classes A, B, C and D championships at CHI Health Center in Omaha in February.

The Nebraska Scholastic Wrestling Coaches Association has sponsored a girls’ state tournament in 2020 and 2021 in York, Nebraska, just before the NSAA wrestling championships in February.
