Here’s a list of wrestlers from the South Fork 2A, Northwestern Foothills 2A and Northwestern 3A-4A who qualified for the state individual wrestling championships on June 26.
The list was provided by the North Carolina High School Athletic Association (NCHSAA) and wrestlers had to finish in the top four of their weight class at a regional to advance.
The state 1A and 4A tournaments are at Winston-Salem Glenn, the 2A tournament is at Wheatmore and the 3A is at Eastern Guilford.
None of the state tournaments this year will wrestle consolation brackets.
