District XI Team Champions & Runner-Ups, Coaches of Year & Outstanding Wrestlers
From 1947-1973, there was only one class in District XI Wrestling. In 1974, two classes were formed – Class A for larger schools and Class B for smaller schools. Beginning in 1976, these classes were changed to Class AAA and Class AA, respectively. An Outstanding Wrestler was first named in 1966 while a Coach of the Year was first named in 1967. Award winners by year are as follows:
