1963-1964 Canandaigua Braves
 WRESTLING. The C.A. Matmen, coached by John Palmer and assistant coach Dan Moore, proved to be one of the best wrestling teams ever assembled in Western New York State. The grapplers finished the season unscathed in Finger Lakes Conference action, ending with a 10 win, no loss record. Canandaigua also won the Wayne-Finger Lakes Tournament, coming up with 6 first place winners: 120 lbs. - Tony Addante, 133 lbs. - Rick Tripodi, 138 - lbs. - Greg Thomas, 145 lbs. - Gary Carpenter, 165 lbs. - Dick Davis, and 180 lbs. - Charlie Carmel. This spectacular team will long be remembered as one of the best at Canandaigua Academy. Canandaigua sent seven wrestlers to the semi-final round of the Section 5 Championships, and emerged from the competition with four title-holders; this was more than any other team in Section 5. C.A.'s Sectional champions were Tony Addante (120 lbs.), Greg Thomas (138 lbs.), Gary Carpenter (145 lbs.), and Dick Davis (165 lbs.). SOURCE: 1964 Academian.
