The first ever NYSPHSAA Dual Meet Championship was wrestled Saturday at Onondaga Community College in Syracuse and for the first time two true state dual meet champions were crowned. Wantagh out of Section VIII (Nassau Co./Long Is.) defeated Section IX (Rockland & Sullivan Counties) powerhouse Minisink Valley 37-28 to claim the large school state championship. Section XI (Suffolk Co./Long Is.) Mt. Sinai defeated Section V (Rochester/Genesee Valley) Canisteo-Greenwood 33-30 in the final to win the small school state title. "I think this has been a great event. It's been a long time in the making and I think people are going to be happy with us" said NYSPHSAA wrestling coordinator Marty Sherman. Mr. Sherman added "Overall I think it has been very successful, great venue too."
