2026-27 Girls Preseason Rankings
Top returning wrestlers across both AIA girls divisions. Rankings use the 2026 state tournament, verified grade eligibility, season records and the current 2026-28 divisional alignment.
Independent rankings: These are Arizona Wrestling editorial rankings, not official AIA rankings. Wrestlers remain at their 2025-26 postseason weight unless a reliably documented move was available. “Open” means the available evidence did not support another returning wrestler with confidence.
