The Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) has announced that the 2026 Wrestling State Tournament will be held from March 13 to 15 at the Schottenstein Center at The Ohio State University. The event will bring together some of Ohio’s best high school wrestlers as they compete for state titles.
RUDIS, a wrestling apparel and gear company, is continuing its partnership with OHSAA for a fourth consecutive year. According to the organizations, this collaboration aims to improve the experience for wrestlers, coaches, and fans during the tournament.
This year’s theme encourages participants to “Take Heart and Rise.” As stated in the announcement: “To Take Heart and Rise is a reflection of everything wrestling demands: to have courage under pressure, resilience in the face of doubt, and the unwavering will to stand back up when the moment tries to break you. It is the choice to meet adversity head-on, to trust that the struggle is shaping you, and to believe that growth lives on the other side of pain. To Take Heart and Rise is to commit. It’s a decision to silence fear, endure the fire, and give everything.”
The tournament will include enhanced features such as exclusive RUDIS wrestling apparel and footwear available on site. Attendees will also have an early opportunity to purchase new shoe releases and access both the Take Heart and Rise collection as well as USA Wrestling gear.
The ongoing partnership reflects RUDIS’s intention to support wrestling at every level while maintaining respect for longstanding traditions within the sport.
