The 2024 Iowa High School State Wrestling Championships begin today at Xtream Arena in Coralville.

Wrestlers who placed in the top 4 in each weight class in last week’s Super Regional tournaments make up the 32 team brackets.  Locally, S.W.A.T Valkyrie has six wrestlers in the tourney, Riverside has three, Southwest Valley has two, Lewis Central has six, Red Oak has two, while ATU and Treynor each have one.

Today’s action begins at 10:00 am with the early session running until 3:00 with first and second rounds and first round wrestlebacks.  The late session at 6:00 pm includes the quarterfinals and second and third round wrestlebacks.

We’ll have live coverage with updates today at 11:45 am, 1:45 pm, 3:45 pm and this evening between games of our basketball doubleheader and a final update once the second game is over.
