Schools with Their First Qualifiers

Recommended Posts

With so many of the same teams at the top year after year, we often forget that there are many new and newer teams that are trying to build and grow programs.  I know of a couple schools that had their first ever qualifiers:

Bethlehem

George Rogers Clark

What other schools had their first ever qualifiers?

DuPont Manual

Manual has had numerous state qualifiers as their program has been around since 01-02. 

I do believe Butler (1st year program) got their very first state qualifier on Saturday.

This is so cool to me. So many new programs, girls wrestling on the verge of being sanctioned.  Well done, KY Wrestling Community and coaches.

Corbin started wrestling in 1967 and that was their only team until last years 2021-22 team.  They had one qualifier their first year and five qualifiers their second year.
