The state series
Your state's girls' championship
Dates, format, venue, and the qualifying path for each state series on our calendar, plus the colleges in that state. Delaware, Nevada and West Virginia have not wrestled a first championship yet. The District of Columbia's is an invitational, not a championship. Mississippi crowns girls' champions but is not on the calendar yet.
