EPIC ORIGINS
WRESTLING HAS A LONG AND RICH HISTORY, DATING BACK TO ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS WHERE WRESTLING WAS CELEBRATED FOR ITS ABILITY TO UNITE PEOPLE AND SHOWCASE HUMAN EXCELLENCE.
FROM THE EARLY DAYS OF ORGANIZED SPORTS TO THE GRAND EVENTS OF TODAY, THESE COMPETITIONS CELEBRATE HUMAN ACHIEVEMENT, RESILIENCE, AND THE PURSUIT OF GREATNESS. IN 1961, ALASKA OFFICIALLY JOINED THIS ANCIENT SPORT WHEN IT SANCTIONED WRESTLING IN HIGH SCHOOL AND CONTINUES TO GROW YEAR AFTER YEAR.
A HISTORY OF EXCELLENCE
ALASKAN WRESTLERS HAVE COMPETED AT EVERY LEVEL STARTING FROM YOUTH WRESTLING TO HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING, COLLEGE WRESTLING TO THE UNITED STATES WORLD-TEAM, AND EVEN THE HIGHEST LEVEL, THE OLYMPICS.

ABOUT THE RACE
HURDLING ORIGINATED IN ENGLAND IN THE EARLY 19TH CENTURY, THE RUNNERS RACE OVER A SERIES OF OBSTACLES CALLED HURDLES, WHICH ARE SET A FIXED DISTANCE APART.
RUNNERS MUST REMAIN IN ASSIGNED LANES THROUGHOUT A RACE, AND, ALTHOUGH THEY MAY KNOCK HURDLES DOWN WHILE RUNNING OVER THEM, A RUNNER WHO TRAILS A FOOT OR LEG ALONGSIDE A HURDLE OR KNOCKS IT DOWN WITH A HAND IS DISQUALIFIED. THE FIRST HURDLER TO COMPLETE THE COURSE IS THE WINNER.
