The history of the Wichita Classic (Please correct me if I am incorrect)
***The Wichita Classic was founded by two wrestling clubs (Goddard and Derby) who did a wonderful job of managing the tournament.
I believe the Andover club was in the initial group who organized this. That was why for years they didn't have a tournament of their own.

I am almost certain at least one year the tournament was held IN the Coliseum itself. I remember there being a huge ice storm that year which I believe the Coliseum stuck the host clubs with some hidden charges for heating that caused the tournament to go back to Century II for a couple of years.
