The Iowa High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) is the regulating body for male Iowa high school interscholastic athletics and is a full member of the National Federation of State High School Associations. Its female counterpart, the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union, (IGHSAU) is an associate member. Iowa is the only state that maintains separate governing bodies for boys' and girls' athletics.

Sports overseen by the IHSAA are baseball, basketball, bowling, cross country, football, golf, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field, and wrestling.

As classifications vary highly across sports, they are included under the individual sport section.

Baseball

The IHSAA, historically, has had 3 state baseball championships. Currently, there is only one: the Summer State Championship, whose winners are currently recognized as the State Champions. Historically, however, the winners of all 3 tournaments are given credit for State Championships. Iowa was the first State Association in the nation to hold a baseball championship meet in the summer.[http://www.IHSAA.org/baseball/Archives/BaseStateChamp_results.pdf]{{dead link|date=August 2013}}

==Spring Tournament==

The Spring Tournament was held every summer from 1928 to 1972, and is the oldest of the 3 state tournaments. In the 4 years prior to 1928 (1924–1927), Iowa State College hosted an "invitational state tournament" in the spring that attracted nearly 40 schools, but was unofficial in nature. Unlike the Summer tournament, the Spring tournament never divided into separate classes.

Cross country

Cross Country was first contested in Iowa in 1922, and is considered a fall sport. It is also the only sport that is jointly sanctioned by the IHSAA and the IGHSAU. The current official distance for cross country meets is 5000m (approximately 3.1 miles).{{Cite web |url=http://www.iahsaa.org/06_XC_Statbook.pdf |title=XC.05.revised |access-date=2008-05-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081007094439/http://www.iahsaa.org/06_XC_Statbook.pdf |archive-date=2008-10-07 |url-status=dead }} The standard format for team scoring, per NFHS guidelines, is to sum the places of the 5 highest placing runners among qualifying teams (teams must have at least 5 runners to qualify in the context of the team competition) to obtain the team's score. Teams are then ranked with the lowest score winning. Additionally, a team may have up to 7 runners count in placing for team scores, although only the first 5 scores, with the 6th and 7th runners serving to displace and lower the position of runners on other teams.{{Cite web |url=http://www.youthrunner.com/component/option,com_ask/task,view/qid,17/Itemid,61 |title=Cross Country Scoring – Ask a Coach |access-date=2008-05-26 |archive-date=2009-01-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090107065757/http://www.youthrunner.com/component/option,com_ask/task,view/qid,17/Itemid,61/ |url-status=dead }}NFHS Rule Book

=Classification guidelines<ref name= classifications />=

In classifying Cross Country programs, due to the collaboration of the IHSAA and IGHSAU, teams are included in the largest 48, next 64, etc., on the basis of having either a boys or a girls program, as not all schools have both. This is to avoid a situation where boys and girls from the same school do not compete in the same class.

  • 4A- Largest 48 schools
  • 3A- Next 64 largest schools
  • 2A- Next 72 largest schools
  • 1A- Remaining Schools

Although different sources claim that certain schools to have been state champions in years prior to 1972, these championships are not apparently recognized by the IHSAA and are not listed on its website, and it is not clear how these championships were determined. 8-Player started having postseason in 2000, the previous two years were regular season due to low number of teams.

The Iowa High School Athletic Association holds two separate team wrestling championships: the Traditional tournament, which also crowns individual champions, and a Dual Team tournament. The dual team tournament was held at the U.S. Cellular Center in Cedar Rapids a week after the traditional tournament, until 2012, when it was held the Wednesday before the traditional tournament in Des Moines.[http://www.kcci.com/high-school-playbook-feature-1/27691527/detail.html]{{dead link|date=August 2013}} This was the subject of much controversy, as several teams sat their state qualifiers for the Dual Team tournament.[http://metrosportsreport.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5840:linn-mar-prairie-scramble-at-state-duals&catid=184:about-msr Linn-Mar, Prairie scramble at state duals].
