We have listened to the Colorado wrestling community who have long desired to have a state tournament, one that exemplifies unity and support, to now crown ONE combined middle school state champion for Grades 6, 7, & 8.

Our goal is to bring the state together and with that in mind, we will work hard to meet the expectations of the wrestling community. 

We are proud to announce a qualifying Regional and those that qualify for the Colorado Super State will wrestle FREE!

Teams - Trophies for 1st-3rd. The teams are Boys True Middle School team, Boys Club Middle School team, Girls True Middle School team, and Girls Club Middle School team..
Champions will receive a Custom Championship Belt.

Elementary finals will be held at the same time as the Middle School State Championships, with an equal production, capturing a memorable weekend that will offer a lasting impression and unforgettable recognition.

Sincerely,
