A few changes for NYS Wrestling came out of the NYSPHSAA Executive Committee meeting:

Among the most significant actions was the approval of two additional State Championships beginning in the 2027?2028 school year: a Girls Wrestling Dual Meet Championship and Boys and Girls Swimming & Diving Team State Championships. The Girls Wrestling Dual Meet Championship will take place on Saturday of Week #30, the same weekend as the Boys Wrestling Dual Meet Championship. The addition represents another milestone in the continued growth of girls wrestling across New York State and expands championship opportunities for female student-athletes.

In Boys Wrestling, the Committee approved requiring Section-designated singlets displaying the assigned Section number at the Individual State Championships. Additionally, participation in Section or NYSPHSAA Dual Meet Championships may now count toward meeting the NYSPHSAA Representation Regulation for individual championship eligibility.
