PIERRE, S.D. – The South Dakota High School Activities Association Board of Directors this week approved first reading of allowing sanctioned girls’ wrestling.

The board on Tuesday agreed to follow a pattern established in Missouri that provides four weight classes for girls’ wrestling at the state tournament. The sport would be integrated into schools based on the interest shown in each school district.

The vote was 91-10 in favor.

Last year, without a separate girls’ division, nearly 40 females competed in sanctioned events. Another 100 or so girls competed in club-only events.
