COLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou Arena and the Hearnes Center will serve as the host site for future Missouri State High School Activities Association boys and girls basketball and boys wrestling championships, MSHSAA announced Wednesday.
University of Missouri Athletics, Columbia Convention and Visitors Bureau and Columbia Sports Commission will jointly host the basketball championships from 2024-28 and the wrestling championship from 2025-29.
The basketball championships return to Columbia for the first time since 2017. Mizzou’s facilities had previously played host to both events annually from 1992-2017.
Mizzou first welcomed the MSHSAA Boys Wrestling Championship to campus in 1973 and has hosted the best prep wrestlers from Missouri in 46 of the last 47 years.

The Columbia Convention and Visitors Bureau, Columbia Sports Commission, and local partner organizations submitted proposals to MSHSAA for four competitions and were awarded all four! We are excited to welcome you to CoMo. pic.twitter.com/6JRD6hMP4d
