District 3 Semifinals Set to Feature Combined 78 State Ranked Wrestlers
The 2016 District 3 Semifinals will feature a total of 78 wrestlers who entered the Tournament with a PA State Ranking in either Class AA or AAA. The District 3 Class AAA Tournament, which also serves as the PIAA’s South Central Regional, qualifies the top five medalist to the PIAA State Tournament next door at the GIANT Center. District 3 and District 1 trade off each year for the fifth qualifying spot in Hershey.
In Class AAA some heavy hitters are looking to take that first step towards PIAA State hardware with some dynamite match-ups set to occur. The Class AA field qualifies the top five medalists to the South East Regional, where they join Districts 1, 11, and 12, and from there the top six finishers move on to States. While not a step prior to the PIAA State Tournament such as Class AAA the District 3 Class AA Tournament will still showcase many top wrestlers. Most notably the 120 lbs. bracket where three wrestlers ranked in the Top 10 in the State will fight it out.
Below is a schedule of events in addition to a look at the semifinal match-ups in both Class AA & AAA.
