I need some help. I have been through all of the IHSAA yearbooks online, brackets, etc. and collecting individual state tournament info for our school to add to our individual wrestling records. I am struggling finding some of the advancement numbers out of sectional, regional, and semi-state (basically from the mid 70's through late 90's). I pretty much have all of our place winners and qualifiers from sectional through state figured out and put in spreadsheets, but I want to fact-check myself and make sure I have the qualifiers in the right spot. I know we have been on 4's for quite a while but need help on the following:
1. What year did Sectionals start advancing more than the top 2 to regional? ('71-72 yearbook had it that way, but when did it change? The '71-72 yearbook was the latest one that had any advancement criteria in it, that I noticed)
2. What year did Regionals start taking more than just the champ to State?
3. Did Semi-State ever advance just 1, or just 2? If so, what years. What year did Semi-State start advancing 3?
If you have any other info that I may be missing, please share.
Thanks,
Brett Smith
