At the end of the month, the New York State Public High School Athletic Association will crown girls wrestling champions for the first time.

In order to get to the MVP Arena in Albany on Feb. 27, the local Section VI wrestlers will have to qualify Friday at Sweet Home High School.

The champion of each weight class will automatically qualify, and second place at 94 pounds, 100, 126, 132, 138, 145, 152, 165 and 185 will also earn a spot, while the section has the first alternate at 107.

Plenty of local athletes will have a good shot at making it to Albany earning high seeds in Friday’s qualifiers.
