Ihsa Class

By 1922, Charles W. Whitten, as vice president of the Board, reorganized the basketball tournament and reduced the size of the state finals from 21 teams to four.

About the same time, the IHSA became a charter member of the NFHS. Whitten was then looking after both organizations. He and his assistant manager at the IHSA, H. V. Porter, exerted unusual influence over high school sports across Illinois.

As IHSA matured, member schools requested sponsorship of state tournaments in sports other than basketball. In 1927, IHSA took over control of the Illinois Interscholastic, which included track, golf, and tennis.

The IHSA established state series in boy's swimming and diving (1932), wrestling (1937), baseball (1940), cross country (1946), and gymnastics (1958). The IHSA held its first girls' state tournament in tennis in 1972, and a variety of other sports quickly followed. Today, it sponsors state tournaments in 14 sports for girls.
