CLASS A WRESTLING TOURNAMENT The tournament began in 1962 as a single elimination event with eight schools (Andover, Exeter, NMH, Tabor, Worcester, Choate, Milton, and GDA). Prior to that time, all public and private schools in New England competed in one New England tournament. Exeter has been the dominant school winning 15 times, highlighted by streaks of 5-3-3-2 consecutive years as the champion. Tabor has 10 championships, including a 5 year run. The Hyde, ME school has 4 titles with 3 in a row (‘79-’81) and Andover and NMH each have 3 championships. GDA won the first two events and Deerfield has one title to round out the champions. There have been three 4x champions and ten 3x individual champions. Below is a chart depicting the results for the last 13 years (the maximum number of years our wrestlers have been in school unless they repeated a year). The closest team race was in ’94 when Hyde edged Tabor by 1.5 points with 3rd place 5 points and 4th place 6 points back. In ’99 Andover won the individual championship at 275 to overtake NMH and win by 3 points. Exeter’s 272 points in ’00 is the best team score in that time. Exeter’s 6 individual champs in ’90 were the most for one team during this period. Exeter had 5 champs in ’92 and Deerfield had 5 in ’93. Three teams won with only one champ: ’88 Exeter, ’93 Exeter at 275, and ’94 Hyde ME. ‘00 ‘99 ‘98 ‘97 ‘96 ‘95 ‘94 ‘93 ‘92 ‘91 ‘90 ‘89 ‘88 Andover 3 1 4 4 8 8 6 5 3 5 4 8 7 Choate 9 12 10 12 Deerfield 7 3 7 8 2 7 3 2 2 2 3 2 2 Exeter 1 5 5 3 1 1 4 1 1 1 2 1 1 Hyde, CT 12 Hyde, ME 13 10 2 10 4 6 1 4 8 4 9 7 9 KUA 17 16 12 11 12 12 11 8 11 12 11 11 Loomis 6 6 9 6 Moses Brown 10 9 8 New Hampton 5 8 15 7 10 NMH 4 2 1 1 6 2 5 3 6 8 5 4 3 Proctor 16 14 12 12 9 7 7 6 PCD 11 11 11 9 7 10 Tabor 8 7 6 5 5 3 2 7 4 3 1 5 6 Tilton 15 13 16 15 13 13 10 9 10 15 Vermont 18 15 14 13 9 9 9 10 5 6 6 3 8 WMA 2 4 3 2 3 5 8 6 12 11 10 9 4 Worcester 14 14 13 14 11 11 7 11 7 10 8 10 5 NEISWA CLASS A TOURNAMENT The tournament began in 1962 as a single elimination event with eight schools.
