The committee which selects the National Girls High School Rankings for individual athletes has released its second Girls High School Team Rankings for the 2022-23 season.

The committee is comprised of representatives from the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, USA Wrestling and FloWrestling.

This ranking includes public and private schools at the high school level from all states, including states with official girls state championship events as well as those with unofficial girls state championships.

Nine of the Top 10 teams from the preseason team rankings have remained in the Top 10, although there have been considerable adjustments among these squads. The top two teams have remained the same, with No. 1 Wyoming Seminary (Pennsylvania) and No. 2 Toppenish (Washington) holding down their rankings.

Moving up within the Top 10 are No. 3 Lebanon (Missouri), which moved up four spots, No. 4 Liberty (Arizona) moving up five spots, No. 5 Marina (California) jumping three spots and No. 6 Harrison (Ohio), which climbed four spots.

The new member of the Top 10 is No. 7 Chatfield (Colorado), which moved up from No. 13.

New teams in the Top 30 include No. 14 Dumas (Texas), No. 15 Euless Trinity (Texas), No. 20 Cumberland Valley (Pennsylvania), No. 21 Sparkman (Ala.), No. 22 Bear River (Utah), No. 24 Lewis Central (Iowa), No. 25 Bemidji (Minn.) and No. 28 Rossview (Tennessee).

The committee has chosen 25 additional programs for Honorable Mention status. There will not be a set number of Honorable Mention teams in each ranking, which is based upon programs the committee would like to recognize for exceptional achievement.

So far, three states have had their girls wrestling state championships: Alaska, Indiana and Alabama. There have been state-level dual meet events in Georgia, Texas and Utah. Within the next month, a majority of states will conduct their state championships, although a number are scheduled for March.

With your help, the committee will have two more team rankings this year, in late February and the final rankings in March.

In order to achieve this, we need more input from coaches, parents, administrators, journalists and fans to have the strongest and most accurate rankings possible.

If there is a team which should be considered for a national ranking and is not on this list, send us the following information.

1)   Contact information for the head coach of the girls team
2)   The team’s projected starting lineup, with result information on the expected starters and their year in school (senior, junior, sophomore, freshman, etc.)
3)   The team’s schedule for the year
4)   Updates on the team throughout the season

Please send all information via email to girlsrankings@usawrestling.org

The long-term goal of the committee and others involved is to strengthen the existing multi-state competitions and develop more large multi-state competitions during the season, where nationally ranked teams and other strong programs can come together to challenge each other.
