WPIAL dual meet wrestling is set for the final matches of the regular season. The League has reduced its Team Tournament field to the top two teams in each Sub-Section, meaning there will not be any third-place qualifiers this year. There are two undecided spots in Class 2A Section 1 as detailed below.

Class 3A, Section 4A–Defending WPIAL/PIAA champion Waynesburg is 3-0 along with Canon-McMillan. Both have clinched spots in the Section Duals and the WPIAL Team Tournament.  The Big Macs host the Raiders next Wednesday. The winner is first, loser second.

Class 2A, Section 1A–Burgettstown (4-0), Chartiers-Houston (3-1) and Fort Cherry (3-1) are all in the running for the top spot in the sub-section with one match left.  The Blue Devils host the Bucs next Wednesday with Fort Cherry entertaining Wash High (2-2). Burgettstown has clinched a berth in the Section Duals and the WPIAL Team Tournament.  Chartiers-Houston clinches with a team win including six or more individual bouts wins, or with a team win and a Fort Cherry loss.  Fort Cherry clinches with a win plus a Burgettstown win.
