VOTE: Most outstanding wrestler at 2026 Iowa girls state tournament

The 2026 Iowa high school girls state wrestling tournament is in the books.

On Friday night, 28 individual state champions were crowned and two programs took home the coveted team title hardware.

Each one of those state title winners had a daunting challenge in front of them when arriving in Coralville at the start of competition on Feb. 5. But they all made it through the gauntlet unscathed to earn the right to call themselves a state champion.

While all 28 competitors are state title winners forever, the Des Moines Register has left it up to the fans to decide which one of the newly-crowned champs was the most impressive over the last few days of competition.

Readers will have until Feb. 15 to cast their vote in our fan poll for who they think the most outstanding wrestler at this year’s tournament was.

The results of this fan poll will not influence who the Register picks as its Wrestler of the Year at the end of the academic calendar.
