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.

UNIONDALE — Three area wrestlers earned championships at the state tournament
Saturday evening.
At Nassau Coliseum, Pal-Mac freshman Alex Ekstrom defeated Alden’s Jared Lemke
4-2 to capture the Division II title at 112 pounds. Ekstrom is the first Red
Raider to win a state championship since Dave Dennie in 1993. He was only the
third Pal-Mac wrestler to earn a spot in the state final.
Ekstrom, who finished the season with a 33-3 mark, cruised through the opening
rounds, winning 8-2 and 13-2 before coming away with a 3-1 win over Carlo Izzo
of Canajoharie in the semifinals.
Wayne, a traditional powerhouse in Section V, had never boasted a state
champion. That changed Saturday when two Eagles took home titles in Division I.
At 171 pounds, Josh Patterson finished off a dominating year with a major
decision win over Jake Koshinski of Niagara Wheatfield, 10-2. Patterson
concluded the campaign a perfect 48-0.
Teammate Ryan Lamagra (47-1), a 189-pounder, took the title with an 8-4 decision
over Maciej Jochym of Herricks.
Rounding out area competitors, Canandaigua’s Dan Mandara captured third place at
119 pounds with a 5-4 win in the consolation finals.
