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.


The first of the 2023 calendar year state meets was held last Friday, with the IHSGW State Finals in Mooresville, Indiana. Penn repeated as team champions, with individual champions from 13 different schools.

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