Outcomes of statewide high school wrestling competitions administered by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association provide a record of individual and team placements. These records typically detail match victories, weight class rankings, and overall team standings. For example, a typical record might show the final placement of each wrestler in a specific weight class, indicating who earned first, second, and third place, and so on. Team scores are also aggregated to determine the overall championship team for each classification.
These documented outcomes serve several crucial functions. They officially recognize the achievements of student-athletes, contributing to their athletic resumes and potentially influencing college recruitment opportunities. The data also provides a valuable tool for coaches to assess team and individual performance, identify areas for improvement, and strategize for future seasons. Historically, these records have played a role in tracking the evolution of the sport, showcasing the development of wrestling techniques and the changing landscape of competitive high school wrestling in Washington state.
