05/22/25 – Class 1A Region 1 Running Events to be Rerun
Due to a variety of meet, administrative and technical errors with the timing and results process, all Class 1A Region 1 running events must be rerun.
The KHSAA office and state meet officials, including the software company, have conducted a lengthy review to try and solve the issues and find an alternative solution. Unfortunately, none of the running events were timed in the correct format. Accurate performance records are not available or able to be reconstructed, dramatically reducing alternative options. We have also consulted with the NFHS to be certain that the final determination is compliant with Federation rules. With at-large state qualifiers at stake, it is also vital to ensure fairness and transparency for the other six regions in Class 1A.
After an emergency Zoom meeting with the member schools in the region, it has been determined that the best path forward is for the meet to be […]

- With the regional schedule (which will come from each regional manager), coaches should prepare athletes to communicate with meet personnel and check-in/check-out of each event.

02/20/25 – Updated Time Schedule for State Swimming & Diving Finals
The KHSAA staff has worked with the University of Kentucky and our lead meet officials to adjust the time schedule for the 2025 KHSAA State Swimming & Diving Finals presented by UK HealthCare.
All girls’ swimming and diving events will now take place on Friday, February 21, and all boys’ swimming and diving events on Saturday, February 22. Adjustments were made to the time schedule to ensure that athletes are not swimming earlier than originally scheduled on Friday or Saturday than the original schedule.
The girls’ and boys’ swimming prelims have no changes to the time schedule between events. Be advised that the gender-specific diving competition has been adjusted to fit between the swimming prelims and finals, which did alter the swimming finals start times to a slightly later time. While this may result in facility attendance issues, we believe that in the end, the schedule adjustments will work to accommodate all involved.

01/24/25 – Wrestling Postseason Updates
The KHSAA wanted to update member schools about Wrestling postseason dates and sites.
While maintaining two seasons in Trackwrestling presents challenges for coaches and administrators, it is imperative that member schools continue to be diligent in maintaining accurate rosters in both TrackWrestling and Arbiter. Coaches should be listed and properly assigned in Arbiter to the teams they work with, as that list will be utilized for coaching passes in the postseason, and should meet all Bylaw 25 requirements.
Female student-athletes have a choice of which postseason to enter (Boys/Coed or Girls) but cannot enter both due to weight management/class requirements and the concurrence of the championship events. Any female entered in the girls’ postseason may not also be entered in the boys’ tournament, and vice versa. Once entered into the postseason, the student-athlete shall compete in that division for the remainder of the postseason.
Female student-athletes desiring to enter the girls’ wrestling postseason should have […]

The KHSAA Board of Control met yesterday and approved a revision to the postseason format for boys’ and girls’ lacrosse. Under the updated format, both the regional champion and runner-up will now qualify for the state tournament.

These region pairings will rotate annually, similar to the format used in boys’ volleyball.
The inclusion of regional runner-up teams will add an additional round to the state tournament. In Round 1, the regional champions will host the runner-up from the opposite region, and the winners will advance to the quarterfinals.

At its most recent meeting, the Board of Control adjusted the requirements for athletes surrounding the events of Pole Vault (Track & Field) and Diving (Swimming).

11/26/24 – Boys’ Volleyball Frequently Asked Questions
(Last Updated 2/5/25)
Following the board announcement regarding the boys’ volleyball postseason and format, the office has received additional questions about the upcoming season.
Programs that have competed outside of KHSAA sanction are going through a transition to the various Bylaws and Competition Rules that KHSAA-sanctioned play requires. Hopefully, this will help those new individuals in the transition.
To ensure consistent communication, we’ve put together this Frequently Asked Questions blog post, addressing some of the common queries we’ve received about boys’ volleyball. Please note that this post will be updated as new questions come in and should serve as a helpful reference for our coaches. Since boys’ volleyball will follow similar guidelines to our other sports regarding coaching requirements, schedules/scores, postseason, and championships, your Athletic Director will also continue to be a valuable resource for additional information and is required to be involved for the sport to comply with Federal OCR guidelines.
