HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Three high school wrestling state tournament weight classes in Class AAA have been postponed due to herpes infection.
The concern, herpes simplex virus type 1, originated out of Region 4 where Huntington, Parkersburg, Cabell Midland, Ripley, Spring Valley, Hurricane and Parkersburg South competed last week.
As a precautionary measure, Class AAA’s 145-pound, 152-pound and 170-pound weight classes will all be pushed back to March 13 and 14 at the Fairmont Armory.
The rest of the tournament is ongoing as previously scheduled with championship matches set for Saturday.
