1st Annual Watertown Invitational Tournament
Starbuck Arena
Watertown, New York
Mar 24, 1939 - Mar 25, 1939
First Annual Watertown High School Invitation Tournament
In order to further interest in wrestling in Northern New York, the Watertown High School last season undertook the task of running the tournament which formerly has been held at St. Lawrence University as due to a change in state regulations it was impossible for the university to hold interscholastic contests. The tournament attracts the best wrestlers from all parts of the state because it affords them an opportunity of testing their skill in competition with equals. Invitations were extended to teams on Long Island, Westchester, Central New York, and the Adirondack district. Mepham High School of Bellmore, L.I., was the winner and exhibited fine skill. Watertown high was second, with four contestants in the finals against the winning team. SOURCE: NCAA Official Wrestling Guide, 1939-40.
