Dave Schultz High School Excellence Award State Winners AnnouncedSTILLWATER, Okla. - The National Wrestling Hall of Fame on Thursday announced the state winners of the Dave Schultz High School Excellence Award (DSHSEA).
The DSHSEA was established in 1996 to honor Olympic and World champion Dave Schultz, whose career was cut short when he was murdered in January 1996. He was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame as a Distinguished Member in 1997 and as a member of the United World Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2016.
The award recognizes and celebrates the nation's most outstanding high school senior male wrestlers for their excellence in wrestling, scholastic achievement, citizenship, and community service.
Winners are evaluated and selected on the basis of three criteria: success and standout performances and sportsmanship in wrestling; review of GPA and class rank, academic honors and distinctions; and participation in activities that demonstrate commitment to character and community.
"This is the 25th year that we have presented our Dave Schultz High School Excellence Award and we're excited to recognize another group of young men, who have excelled not only on the wrestling mat, but also in the classroom and in their communities," said Hall of Fame Executive Director Lee Roy Smith. "I want to thank our selection committee for the thorough work they have done in determining this year's winners. We look forward to following these young men as they chart new goals for themselves on the mat and in their lives."
DSHSEA regional winners will be announced on May 21 and the national winner will be announced on May 28. The state winners of the Tricia Saunders High School Excellence Award (TSHSEA) were announced on Tuesday. The TSHSEA recognizes and celebrates the nation's most outstanding high school senior female wrestlers for their excellence in wrestling, scholastic achievement, citizenship, and community service. The TSHSEA regional winners will be announced on May 19 and the national winner will be announced on May 26.
The Hall of Fame accepts nominations for its high school excellence awards from state chapters and coaches. The nominations are reviewed by a committee, which selects state and regional winners. The committee then determines the national winners from the regional winners.
National winners of the DSHSEA award have combined to win 19 NCAA Division I individual titles led by four-time champion Logan Stieber (2010), three-time winner Zain Retherford (2013) and two-time winners Steven Mocco (2001), David Taylor (2009) and Teyon Ware (2002). The 2016 winner of the DSHSEA Mark Hall won an NCAA title as a freshman in 2017 while 2015 winner Zahid Valencia won back-to-back championships in 2018 and 2019.

Coaches, I have seen several emails about tournaments and just wanted to make sure all were working on the same timeline for events.2019-20 is a fall back year in the HSL sports Calendar. You can find these dates on the HSL website... however here are some important for wrestling.
Nov. 4- first day of practice
November 23- first date you can do a preseason date
Dec. 2- first date of regular season matches
Regular season weekends
Dec. 7, 14, 21, 28
Jan. 4, 11, 18, 25
Feb. 1
If nothing changes... I believe all of us must have regular season matches completed by Tuesday, Feb. 4th. Be sure you dont have a region match scheduled for Wednesday February 5th unless your classification allows you that date to wrestle.
State Duals would be Feb. 8 to Feb 15
Upper State and Lower State individuals the weekend of Feb. 22
State championship Individuals Feb 28 and 29
Just a few more dates for some of you to set your calendar for wrestling...
Dec. 21 or January 11 would be Carolina Invitational Area tournaments.
Jan. 18 would be Carolina Invitational Sectional Tournaments.
Jan. 25 would be Carolina Invitational at Lexington
Feb. 1 would be make up snow day for Carolina Invitational (if needed)
