2017 WPIAL Team Wrestling Sectional Clinchings & Matchups

To qualify for the WPIAL Team Wrestling playoff field, you first have to qualify for the team sectionals. The top three teams from each sub-section qualify for the Section Championship Tournament. The top team in each sub-section faces the runner-up in the opposing sub-section with the two winners then doing battle for the section championship while the two third place finishers face off to determine the fifth qualifier from that section that will move on to the 2017 WPIAL Team Wrestling Playoffs.
