Classifications for the 2021-22 wrestling season

The OSSAA recently released the classifications for the 2021-22 wrestling season with a few changes from last year.  Changes for the traditional individual State Tournament are reviewed each year, with the 32 largest wrestling schools competing in Class 6A, the next 32 in Class 5A, the next 32 in Class 4A and the remaining schools in Class 3A.  This year, there are 64 schools that are listed as fielding a wrestling team that will be competing in 3A.  

For scheduling purposes, the district assignments which lead to the Dual State champion are reviewed every two years with the district assignments for 2022 and 2023 being made last spring.  This difference (individual State decided each year and districts being drawn every two years) is the reason that some teams will compete in one class in the individual State Tournament and a different class at Dual State (such as Skiatook last year).  

A few notable changes for this year include Midwest City, winner of 16 large school state titles (the last in 2008) competing in 5A this year.  Piedmont, with eight straight State Tournament Top Ten finishes (including 3rd place in 2019 and 2020) will compete in 6A at the individual State Tournament but remain in 5A for Dual State.  Tahlequah joins Piedmont in the move us to Class 6A, while Ada and Grove move from 4A to 5A.  Bridge Creek, McLoud and Perkins-Tryon move from 3A to 4A, while Kingfisher and Mannford move from 4A down to 3A.

Listed below are the OSSAA wrestling classifications for the 2021-22 season and then listed below that are the wrestling districts for the 2022 and 2023 seasons.
