The format at the NYSPHSAA Wrestling Dual Meet Championships traditionally features 24 teams competing in two divisions, with those programs coming from the 11 NYSPHSAA sections.

Nine of the sections send teams to compete in Division 1, and 10 sections qualify teams for Division 2. Then, there are three at-large entries for Division 1 and one for Division 2. 

Every team is tested in three matches of pool play, with the top four teams in each division advancing to the semifinals. 

Here are the 14 weight classes for NYSPHSAA competition: 103, 110, 118, 126, 132, 138, 144, 150, 157, 165, 175, 190, 215, 285

In 2025, it was Minisink Valley and John Glenn winning the Division 1 and Division 2 titles, respectively, at the NYSPHSAA Wrestling Dual Meet Championships. It was the third win for Minisink Valley (2020, 2022) and the first for John Glenn. Both winning teams finished second in 2024.

Did You Know: High School Wrestling In New York State Began In 1963

While the NYSPHSAA Wrestling Dual Meet Championships is only a few years old, being held for the first time in 2018, the NYSPHSAA Boys Wrestling Individual Championships has been taking place since 1963.

The format of the latter event has changed over the years, and since 2004, it has awarded 26 state championships – 13 in each division. 

Almost all of the most dominant high school wrestlers in the state’s history have come since the turn of the century. Four wrestlers have won five state championships. Another 11 have won four times. The oldest wrestler on the lists wrestled from 1997-2000. 

Of the seven times the dual meet has been held (the 2021 edition was canceled due to COVID-19), Minisink Valley leads with three Division 1 titles (2020, 2022, 2025), and Tioga tops the Division 2 list with three of its own (2022, 2023, 2024).
