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.

area close to the floor for the finals only. Also available will be a
one-session ticket for $12 and a three-session package (without premium seating)

finals. Premium seating is only available in the “Premium package”.
TICKETS ARE ON SALE: Consumers are required to visit the Times Union Center Box

The tournament, now in its fourth year of a two-division format, will follow a
similar schedule to last year’s event held at the Nassau Coliseum on Long
Island. The difference in this tournament, however, will be the addition of 130
more wrestlers who will fill the byes in the brackets that the tournament has
had since the two-division format was implemented in 2003. This year’s wrestling
championships will give 520 student-athletes from approximately 400 schools the
opportunity to pursue a state crown. Each of 11 sections, along with the New
York City Public School Athletic League (PSAL) and the Catholic High School
Athletic Association (CHSAA), will send qualifying wrestlers from each weight
class in each division.
