Just wondering which high school has had the most wrestlers in history to win state? Top 10 list exist Anywhere?

Ark City

Ark has a bunch I'm sure, I'm guessing Hoxie, Goodland, and St. Francis have a few themselves

Columbus has quite a few

KMC or Ark City? I would think both would be in the top 5.

Norton has to be right up there with Ark City, just guessing. They have had a ton.

As of 2001 St. Francis had the most with 99. Norton and Ark City both had in the 70's. I don't have the 2002-2012 champions in my spreadsheet...

AC has 90 as of this year.

I am not sure, but i think the Jenkins, and Gabel's were the last state champs St Fracis has had. Or at least I dont remember any since then. Still 99 pretty good number. I wonder where Norton is at now, I know they have a a few since then, as well as Hoxie.

Jordan Gienger St. Francis 2007 152 lbs.

St. Francis - that is impressive.

Chris Richard & Alan Wahrman were my coaches my sophomore year of high school. I was pretty dumd (slightly moreso th an now) at that age and didn't realize how good they actually were. This list explains why I left practices everyday wth my face's impression spread all over the mats.

I remember Coach Wahrman telling me one time that he didn't even letter until I think his Junior year because he couldn't make varsity until then.

Norton Has 92 State Champions as of 2012.

What makes AC and KMC a little more impressive is that they both started wrestling in the 60's...30 years behind the others.

What doesn't is that they added a second, third and finally a fourth classification to water down the title of State Champion. Before 1966 you were really a state champion, since then, with the exception of the two years KSHSAA hosted a grand state, wrestlers are co state champions.

Good Point. I am curious how many schools were wrestling back in the 30's when there was just one class. Was there more or less schools in that one class than there is now in just one of the classes? Anybody want to do a little research?
