The first-ever WPIAL Girls Individual Wrestling Championships are in the books, the first step toward the inaugural PIAA Girls Wrestling Finals. The top five finishers are guaranteed spots in the Western Regional at Canon-McMillan in two weeks. The Pittsburgh City League has notified PIAA of only two entries (106 & 112 pounds). That means the WPIAL sixth-place finishers will also advance in every other weight class. Canon-McMillan led the way with 11 top-six finishers. Valarie Solorio, Capri Chambers and Natalie Rush claimed individual championships for Canon-Mac. Norwin and Plum each claimed two individual titles. Trinity has four top-six medalists, Fort Cherry, Peters Township and Ringgold two each. Bentworth has one qualifier. The WJPA Sports Network will have live coverage of the PIAA Girls Western Regional as part of our broadcast of the WPIAL 3A Individual Championships March 1-2.
