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.

Otisville-Lakeville's Pyles makes the list
February 7, 2012
As wrestling season begins its postseason run this week, a number of four-year standouts will be drawing close to the end of their high school careers. And at least a few have totaled the kind of records and statistics that would place them in the MHSAA wrestling record book.
Today we've added season and career listings for former Otisville-Lakeville standout Zac Pyles, who won 194 matches from 1996-99, including a Division 3 championship at 130 pounds as a senior.
Check out the entire MHSAA wrestling record book, and instructions at the top of the listing for submitting entries.
