Girls High School Wrestling A Wyoming Varsity Sport: This year marks 50 years when Title 9 was created.

It prohibits people from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance

When the new school year begins, Wyoming will have the same number of boys and girls varsity athletic sports.

Girls wrestling recently received the green light to be a varsity sport.

In order for a sport to become a varsity sport, a minimum of 8 schools must convince the Wyoming High School Activities Association Board of Directors, to allow it to be.

Earlier this year, the minimum was met, and at least 3 schools have since joined since then, as Buffalo and both Gillette schools have announced they will field a girls wrestling team in the upcoming winter sports season.

WHSAA Commissioner Ron Laird says there’s been a number of girls wrestlers in the past competing with the boys, but sometimes an inter-gender match-up was a bit awkward.

Laird adds for starters there will only be one class of girls wrestling.

The Boys State Wrestling Meet is normally a 2-day event.

The Girls State Meet will also be a 2-day event and will start the day before the boys.

The Girls Championship matches will go on at the same time as the boys semi-finals, which marks the end of the first day of the boys state meet.
