Each win is credited to the winner and to the school the winner wrestled for that year. Career totals span eras: superior decisions were scored from 1972 to 1987, major decisions from 1976 and technical falls from 1985, and the number of rounds and wrestlers in a bracket changed over time. A win counts by its recorded method, whatever the score. What counts as a bonus-point win
