Prep wrestling seasons to run simultaneously

The Alaska School Activities Association board of directors voted this week to align the Class 1-2-3A and 4A wrestling seasons.

ASAA executive director Billy Strickland said the season will run seven weeks from approximately late October through mid December.

Currently, the 1-2-3A season begins in October and runs through mid-December and the 4A season begins in mid-November and runs through early February. Over the years, ASAA has gone back and forth on wrestling, sometimes holding the seasons concurrently and sometimes splitting them.

Although the seasons will be aligned, Strickland said there will still be separate state tournaments for the two classifications. Strickland said the tournaments will be held the same days but at different locations.
