Welcome to the 2001 edition of the Connecticut state high school
wrestling record book. This book is a compilation of the information
from newspapers, team statistics and coaches records. This record
book is designed to be a historical look at wrestling in Connecticut,
honoring the athletes and coaches that came before us.
This record book relied heavily on responses received from individual
schools and some research on the editor’s part. Errors of omission,
while regretable, are easily correctable. Simply mail or e-mail
the correct information and we will include it in the next edition of the
record book.
The record book is always a work in progress. We look forward to
receiving more updated information from people around the state to
make this record book an more accurate representation of the sport,
to recognize the achievements of outstanding interscholastic
wrestlers and outstanding wrestling programs.
We would like to issue a new record book before each season
begins so please look for additional information from your past and
keep tabs on record-breaking performances this season as well.
To submit information, please send information to Gerry deSimas,
Jr., 272 Burnham Road, Avon, 06001 or e-mail it to
ctwrestling7@yahoo.com. Please include the source of your information
and a telephone number in case we need to verify some information.
We want to thank the family of the late William McGuiness of Avon
for use of his extensive wrestling records and research to help compile
this record book. We also thank the Connecticut Sports Writers
Alliance for generously donating space on their Web site for this
record book.
Have a great season.
