We pick back up our series on MHSAA tournaments through the years with one that's enjoyed one of the longest traditions despite evolving to include a new format only a few decades ago.
The MHSAA has sponsored a wrestling tournament since 1948, splitting the postseason into team and individual portions in 1988 to allow for celebrations of both the individual excellence and exciting team aspects of the sport.
This feature is from the spring issue of benchmarks, built and written by Rob Kaminski. Scroll to the bottom of the page for links to our previous installments.
