Created to ensure girls in the state of Kansas are given the opportunity to wrestle in an all girl tournament.

​

In 2016, McPherson High School (MHS) hosted the first ever Kansas Girl's High School Wrestling Tournament. There were a total of 19 participants with 13 of them being MHS Girls. In 2019 KSHSAA sanctioned girls wrestling with an overwhelming 63-2 vote. Making it possible in 2020 and beyond for girls to compete for a state championship. Since this landmark vote, girl's wrestling has exploded and become one of the fastest growing sports. McPherson did not create girl's wrestling but it played a significant role in it becoming what it is today in the state of Kansas. Below is a banner which hangs in the MHS wrestling room and it will always hang at tournaments we host.
