ArmDrag.com is looking for volunteers to help populate the Archives.
We're not only looking for results, but tournament brackets, photos, and
articles as well. Many college and public libraries have microform copies
of complete newspapers dating back over 100 years. In them, you can find
lots of wrestling results. If you enjoy doing research, and you have some time,
make a trip to the library and check it out. Ask a librarian how to get
started and how to print out the articles that you find.

Coach Ken Slater's Junior Varsity Wrestling Team has been the foundation of our
fine varsity team. This year's team, composed mainly of freshman, compiled a
respectable 7-6-1 record against teams that included sophomores and juniors.
Grapplers like Dave Flowers, Scott Lynch, Gary Zweig, Tom Horner, and undefeated
William Holland helped Irondequoit to compete successfully in the rugged Monroe
County League. (Neodaondaquat, 1966)
