KYWCA Hall of Fame Coach Rusty Parks Sr. of Woodford County High School pioneered the idea of a Kentucky State Dual Championship in 1989. The surrounding states were hosting State Dual Championships, and Coach Parks recognized its importance to the sport’s growth. “I felt for Kentucky to keep up with wrestling in the United States, we needed a state dual championship,” stated Parks.
The first KYWCA State Dual Championship was hosted at Memorial Coliseum in Lexington, Kentucky in 1990. From 1990 through 2012, the KYWCA State Dual Championship was a sixteen-team event, with one champion.
In the spring of 2012, the KYWCA board voted to expand the Kentucky State Dual Championships, and two divisions were formed based on school enrollment.
