Ha ha, Aaron as I am the guy with all the knowledge I will answer your questions

1. No, Wamego has never won the NCKL, and thus the answer to the second part of your question is none!

2. And seeings how the asnwer to question 1 is no the answer to question 2 should come as no surprise to you Aaron, and that is Chapman. Thats right your alma mater has gone the longest without winning the NCKL. 31 years its been since Chapman claimed the NCKL title (1973).

3. Close ... here they are (just a few, not all of them)all State Champions

103. Tovar - Abilene 98, Chris Ngo-Concordia (93)
112. Tony Dong - Concordia (89)
119. Jon Dong - Concordia (89)
125. Jorden Close - Clay Center (03)
130.
135. Jon Dong - Concordia (91)
140. Brandon Pfizenmaier (96)
145. Brandon Pfizenmaier (97 & 98)
152. Nate Smith - Abilene (98)
160.
171. Ray - Clay Center (89)
189. Jacob Strait - Concordia (02)
215. Matt Vogelsburg - Marysville (98 & 99)
275. Cory Casteel - Abilene (97)

Not sure about those three open wight classes with the information that I have. The weights were changed starting in 1989. But before that someone from the NCKL won State in every weight class. If I find the ones for the three open ones I'll put them in there.

4. The Dongs From Concordia have 5 betwen the three of them. Pfizenmairs from Clay Center have 4 between the two of them. As do the Ngo's from Concordia. Vogelsburgs from Marysville have 4 between the three of them.

5. Totally guess here only because I didn't want to take the time to look it up but I believe Chapman has not had a state finalist the longest
(I know Kern from Wamego won it in 2000 so its not Wamego)

Bonus - Once again Chapman wins this honor.
