High school athletic associations often categorize schools by size for competitive balance in various sports. In some states, “2A” designates a specific classification, typically the second-largest, for schools competing in interscholastic wrestling. Information about the outcomes of the championship tournament for this classification, including individual weight class placements and team scores, constitutes the data typically sought. For example, this data would reveal the state champion team, the individual champions in each weight class, and the final standings of all participating schools.
This information holds significant value for wrestlers, coaches, families, and fans. It provides a definitive record of achievement, recognizing the dedication and skill of the athletes. These results can also impact rankings, college recruitment prospects, and team and individual legacies within the sport. Historical context further enhances the value of this information, allowing for the tracking of performance trends, dynasties, and individual progress over time. This contributes to the rich history and tradition of high school wrestling.
