Wrestling
Wrestling has been an IGHSAU sponsored sport since 2022. State championships are awarded to a single team and individuals at the individual state tournament. There is currently no team dual state championship.
On 23 May 2024, it was announced that due to the explosion of participation in the sport, wrestling would move to two classes for the 2024-2025 season. The largest 64 schools would compete in class 2A, and the remaining schools in 1A.[18]
