What the record shows
The WHSAA sanctioned girls wrestling in time for the 2022-23 season. Its own results archive carries no girls brackets in the 2022 file and full WHSAA Girls State Championships brackets in the 2023 file, in the NFHS 14 class set, so 2023 is the first year. More than 200 girls wrestled the inaugural championships, held alongside the Sarah Tollin Memorial in Casper.
The 2026-27 Wyoming championship carries the dates, the venue, and the qualifying path.
How many girls wrestle in Wyoming
The NFHS High School Athletics Participation Survey, girls' wrestling column. Every number here is the survey's own; nothing is estimated or carried forward.
That is 94 more girls than 2024-25, up 18.3 percent.
Weight classes
WHSAA uses the NFHS 14 class girls' set. The NFHS offers three, and a state association picks one and cannot switch mid-season.

Scratch weights, in pounds. Most associations add a growth allowance partway through the season, so a bracket in February may read two pounds higher than this. Read off whsaa.org on 2026-09-03. Every set at every level puts this beside the NCAA, NAIA and international weights.
What to do if your school has no girls' team
We found no published WHSAA rule covering a girl whose school has no girls' team. That is not the same as a ban, and it usually means the answer is local rather than statewide.
The general path, in the order that works: ask the athletic director first, in writing, whether the school will enter you and under what rule. Most schools have never been asked, and the answer to a written question goes on the record in a way a hallway conversation does not. If the school will not enter you, ask WHSAA directly what a student in your position may do; associations answer these, and the answer is the one that binds your school.
Train while you sort it out. A club room is where most girls in a state without a school team actually wrestle, and club season runs when the school season does not. The clubs in Wyoming are listed by city, with the girls' rooms and girls' practices flagged where the club says so.
Where it goes next
The state final is not the end of the line. These are the two places a Wyoming wrestler goes from here.
College in the state
No college in Wyoming sponsors women's wrestling yet. The national directory runs to hundreds of programs and grows every season.
Wrestlers from Wyoming
No wrestler in the record names Wyoming as home yet. The roster grows every week, and it is the same sport in every room.
Before the season starts
A girl's legal minimum wrestling weight is built on the 19 percent body fat floor the NFHS sets for girls, not the boys' 7 percent. That is roughly sixteen pounds of difference for a fifteen year old, and every app built on the boys' number gets it wrong. How making weight works covers certification and what your state enforces at the scale.
