The History of Central Section Wrestling and more 1952-2007 Mike Stricker

Mike has spent countless hours researching the history of the San Joaquin Valley Wrestling Championships. In this book he

has compiled the results of both Central Section qualifiers, beginning with the Yosemite Championships and the Sierra-

Sequoia Championships. In addition, this book documents the results of the South Yosemite League, South Sequoia League Championships.

His research of the Central Section, or "Valley" has allowed him to share the rich wrestling history and bring forth the

proud tradition of this area in the sport of wrestling. The Central Section is noted for its wrestling prowess through the

state of California and across the nation. The Central Section produced NCAA wrestling champions and numerous

wrestlers who have competed and captured victories at the highest level of competition. This is a reprint of the original Book, printed in 2007. All proceeds from the sale of both books will be donated to amature wrestling
