It's a decision that came from the Minnesota High School League earlier this week.
KIMT News 3 Sports spoke with Minnesota USA Wrestling about the big news.
Minnesota is now the 32nd state to make high school girls' wrestling a sanctioned sport.
Girls' and women's Minnesota USA wrestling is excited, to say the least.
"When I was waiting for the word, every second that went by, the excitement was building and as soon as I got the test message that the vote had passed, I was so loud. I was so ecstatic," says Chad Shilson, Director and Coach at Girls' and Women's USA Wrestling.
