EAST LANSING, MI (WTVB) – The addition of a girls division to the Individual Wrestling Tournament series and approval of a common start date for all Fall sports highlighted actions taken by the Representative Council of the Michigan High School Athletic Association during its annual Spring Meeting on Monday.
Beginning with the 2021-22 school year, a championship division for female competitors will be added to the MHSAA Individual Wrestling Tournament series. There will be 14 champions awarded, based on weight classes.
Qualifiers will be determined in a sectional format. Girls will continue to compete on boys teams during regular-season and team tournament competition.
Girls also may choose to compete in the boys individual tournament instead of the girls bracket.

The Council also voted to move the start of all Fall sports practices to the same day which will be August 9, 2021.
