National / Regional Results Page Added

Chad Otterness has compiled individual Greco and Freestyle results at the regional and national levels going all the way back to 1978. His eyes and fingers may be tired (as were mine after transcribing them all) but the effort expended by our tireless wrestlers is well worth the time we take to record them.

The new page is in the left-side menu, called Results – Regl / Natnl .

Thank you, Chad, for compiling these; thank you parents for driving and encouraging so much; and thank you, wrestlers, for never giving up!

Upgraded Blog Software

As of this post, the WordPress blog software has been upgraded from 2.0.4 to 2.8.2 – quite a jump. However, we needed to clean out the old databases and take advantage of the new security features since we have attracted the attention of too many prescription drug spammers who were trying to add their marketing links invisibly to the ends of our posts. (Sports is big business, I suppose.)

Results Posting – New Page

We split the page for Mat-Rats individual results into two pages, one for Freestyle, and one for Greco-Roman. This split means you don’t have to wonder which results you are viewing as you did when the Mat-Rats Individual Results page contained results from both groups.

The new pages are listed on the left-side menu and, for convenience, right here in a neat little list:

.
As a *BONUS* we also added decades of results that Chad Otterness provided to the web site. Go ahead, visit the pages and scroll down through the years!
