Stillwater, Okla. - Prior to the 2006 NCAA National Championships, the National Wrestling Hall of Fame hosted the "Test Your Collegiate Wrestling Trivia Challenge".  Wrestling historian, Jay Hammond created the 25-question test.  All answers to the trivia could be found in the recently published book "The History of Collegiate Wrestling," which Hammond authored.   

From the more than 400 entries that were received, two participants achieved a perfect score.  Bobby Crawford of Kansas City, Mo. and Terry Taylor of Tulsa, Okla. answered all the questions correctly to win an autographed copy of "The History of Collegiate Wrestling" and two tickets to the 2006 Champions Reunion held in Oklahoma City during the National Championships.  

Below you will find the 2006 Trivia Challenge questions and answers.  

In November, the National Wrestling Hall of Fame also hosted an All-Star Trivia Contest in conjunction with the 2005 NWCA All-Star Match.  Look for more trivia contests in the future from the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.
