Newport Wrestling

Newport High School has a long, storied history of wrestling. Established in 1957, the varsity program immediately became a presence. Forty-nine of its 65 teams have had winning seasons, with 45 of them winning ten or more meets and 20 winning league championships. Only eight of the 92 schools in south central Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Associations's District 3 have more state champions–and only two of those schools now compete with Newport in the AA small school division. Newport is also one of only six schools from District 3 who have won official or unofficial state championships–having done so in 1963, when it had two wrestlers in the state finals.

This is a continuation of a publication written in 1971, entitled "Fourteen Years of Wrestling at Newport High School." The site chronicles sixty-five years of statistics and narratives on meet records and scores, team achievements, individual wrestler records, all-star teams, and all things Newport wrestling.

The history is broken into five time-periods. The formative years from the 1957-58 season through 1971-72. The second wave from 1972-73 through 1986-87. The next generation from 1987-88 through 2000-01. The fourth tier from 2001-02 through 2015-16. And the fifth dimension from 2016-17 through 2021-22. Statistics for more recent seasons will be added as they are wrestled. Lists of team and individual achievments are also included.
