The Mid-Hudson Tournament: History of the Longest Running High School Wrestling Tournament in NYS

The Mid-Hudson was started in 1965 as the Arlington Wrestling Invitational by Mr. Bill Wright, Arlington’s first wrestling coach. Four teams participated (Arlington, Onteora, Brewster, and Saugerties) and Onteora was team champion. It expanded to six teams in 1966, eight schools in 1967, and 13 teams in 1970.

Kerry McCoy won the Mid-Hudson in 1990 while wrestling for Longwood HS. McCoy would go on the be a 3X NCAA All-American, 2X NCAA Champion and a 2X Olympian!

In 1971 it expanded to 16 teams and was moved to Dutchess Community College. It remained at DCC until 1983 and was moved to Kingston High School (Kate Walton Field House). The tournament was expanded to 25 teams. Mr. Dean Short of Kingston was tournament director. In ’02 it moved back to Arlington and has been there ever since under the direction of Mr. Fred Perry. It is the longest running wrestling tournament in NYS. It has had NCAA and Olympic Champions, including Jeff Blatnick (Olympic Champion) and Kerry McCoy (2X NCAA Champion). There has been only one wrestler to win 5X Mid-Hudson titles! While wrestling for his alma mater, Monroe Woodbury head coach John Gartiser won the Mid-Hudson in 1997 (96 lbs.), 1998 (103 lbs.), 1999 (112 lbs.), 2000 (125 lbs.) and 2001 (140 lbs.). Only three wrestlers have won the Mid-Hudson four times! Valley Central’s Lou Ruggirello Sr. won the tournament in 1986, 1987, 1988, and 1989. He would go on to win two NYS medals placing 3rd in 1988 and winning the title in 1989. Louie’s teammate at Valley Central, Jeff Lewis, won the Mid-Hudson in 1983, 1984, 1986, and 1987. Lewis would go on to become a 2X NYS place winner finishing 2nd and 3rd! Pine Bush graduate Johnny Stramiello won the Mid-Hudson in 2009, 2010, 2012, and 2013. Stramiello was a 2X NYS place winner taking 6th place honors 2011 and 2012.
