Camden County and Lumpkin County won state wrestling championships Friday.

Camden County became the first program to claim boys and girls dual titles in the same year, as Camden’s boys won their 10th straight title last week. Girls wrestling became in sanctioned GHSA sport in 2023.

Camden’s girls defeated Greenbrier 51-30 in the Division I final in Carrollton.

Lumpkin County beat Long County 66-17 in the Division II final. It was Lumpkin’s first duals title, though the team won the traditional state meet last season and returned two individual state champions — twins Greta Garbuzovas and Nora Garbuzovas — from that team.
