State Weigh-Ins

  • On Friday, March 15th, there will be satellite weigh-ins across the State in every District.  Each District can have up to 2 satellite weigh-ins within their District.  There must be a NEUSAW representative or Certified official present at the weigh-ins.  There will be a weigh-in in Grand Island at the venue as we normally do but strongly suggest that everyone weigh-in at a satellite weigh-in unless you are in District 4.  Wrestlers can weigh-in at any satellite weigh-in that they want.
  • Remember you must wear a singlet at weigh-ins.  You must make weight in the weight class you qualified for at Districts or you will be scratched from the tournament with no refund. This does not include the Girls divisions, Boys PreK-K or High School. The girls and HS can bump up a weight if they don't make the weight they registered for.
  • Satellite weigh-ins can begin as early as 2pm central time but must be completed by 7pm central time on Friday evening.  This is only a window so each District can allow for weigh-ins between these times.  The weigh-in in at the Heartland Event Center will be from 6pm to 8pm.  The exact District weigh-in places and times will be updated on our website as that info becomes available.
  • Wrestlers can weigh-in at any satellite location. 
  • These weigh-ins will be for all grades and divisions no matter if they wrestle on Saturday or Sunday.  There will be no weigh-ins on Saturday afternoon like we have had in the past.
  • Each wrestler will receive a specific colored wrist band that designates which session they wrestle in at State.  This must be worn to get in the gate. Also must be worn to get on the wrestling floor during their session only.  Wrestlers with colored wrist bands will be allowed to stay in the building, but not on the floor, for other sessions if their parents are coaches or have siblings still wrestling in other sessions.  Wrestlers with wrist bands will not have to pay a gate fee for sessions they aren't wrestling in but should be accompanied by their parent.
