Coach B.D. LaPrad (51) Coach Jack Kosmicki (44) Coach Kenny Walker (41)
The week of South Carolina's 2013 Wrestling State Duals is upon us.
While many prepare for the Super Bowl festivities this weekend,
90 teams across S.C. - in 4A, 3A, 2A and 1A -
prepare for Saturday's 1st Round of the State Duals.
It is a great time to look at the Recordbook and see what has happened in the last 20 years of State Duals!
For historical sake, here is when each classification decided to award the State title through a Dual
tournament format. Over the years, a number of teams have jumped between classifications, so we have
sorted the categories below by all classifications instead of splitting every classification up.
4A - In 1993, the S.C. wrestling state title in 4A was recognized through the State Duals format
3A - In 1994, the S.C. wrestling state title in 3A was recognized through the State Duals format
2A-1A - In 2001, the S.C. wrestling state title in 2A-1A was recognized through the State Duals format
1A - In 2007, the S.C. wrestling state title in 1A was recognized through the State Duals format
All data below is up to date through last year's 2012 State Duals tournaments.
