In this episode, we sit down with Mark Kuisle, Activities Director at Big Lake High School and co‑manager of the Minnesota State High School League State Wrestling Tournament. Mark brings a rare behind‑the‑scenes look at how the state’s biggest wrestling event is organized, operated, and continually improved.

We dive into the new state tournament format, why changes were made, and how they impact athletes, coaches, and fans. Mark also shares insight into the logistical challenges of running a multi‑day, multi‑class event, details most people never see.

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to run one of the premier wrestling state tournaments in the country, this conversation pulls back the curtain.
