1980–2026 · the IndianaMat program record, re-dated at assembly

The wrestling program's state record is a short roll, kept whole by its own record-keeper: IndianaMat's team-firsts record for New Prairie counts 17 state qualifiers, 6 placers and 2 finalists in the program's history, and one champion — Christian Carroll, state champion in 2022, the program's second finalist after Phillip Oudhuis in 2007. The firsts stand in order: first qualifier Mitchel Kane, 1980; first placer Frank Fraser, 1997. An individual state title is a team-history fact at this size — the champion's biography belongs to the Sports Players leg, and this section carries the title, the year and the program roll at the strength of the sport's own record. The other tournament sports — cross country, track, golf, soccer, boys' basketball — leave no title or finals mark in the sources read, and their rolls stand as a named gap (GAP-NC5-SPO-3), settler the IHSAA's all-time sectional and finals records read sport by sport for the school's name; an unsearched silence would be worthless, and this one is printed as a search, not a verdict.
