BOYS WRESTLING SECTIONALS

 

It was a long day but the results of all 12 Wrestling Sectionals held on Saturday are now in the computer. The 672 names of all the state qualifiers from Division I, II and II will be seeded according to various criteria and then placed back into the appropriate bracket based on weight class and competition.

Division IV did not have a sectional scheduled, instead, the state championships for that level will cover two days of competition from March 16-17 at Poston Butte High School in San Tan Valley. D-III will be held on March 18, D-II on March 19 and D-I on March 20. 16 wrestlers will compete in each bracket.

Listed below are the 12 section team champions and the champions for each weight class within each section. Remember, the top four finishers from each weight class advances to state not just the champions.
