Girls wrestling is currently an emerging sport in the state of Indiana, which means it is not IHSAA sanctioned, but is on its way. For a sport to become officially recognized and an IHSAA state tournament be sponsored, 50 percent of the membership must be participating in the sport.

Indiana High School Girls Wrestling (IHSGW) will host the State Finals on Friday, January 12 at Kokomo High School. Weigh-ins will be held at 10:00 a.m. followed by wrestling at 11:00.
