The Senate Resolution introduced by Senators Martin, Phillips-Hill, Hutchinson, Fontana, Robinson, and Laughlin on March 17, 2025, designates March 8, 2025, as "PIAA Wrestling Day of Champions" in Pennsylvania. The resolution highlights the importance of wrestling in teaching essential life skills such as self-reliance, self-discipline, and teamwork, which contribute to personal and professional development. It acknowledges Pennsylvania's rich wrestling history and its status as a hub for elite wrestling programs across various age and experience levels, supported by the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA).

The resolution also notes the significant growth in wrestling participation, with a record 356,131 participants nationwide during the 2023-2024 season, including 259,431 boys and 64,257 girls. This growth is attributed to the increasing popularity of girls' wrestling, which has become the fastest-growing high school sport in the country. The resolution coincides with the second PIAA Championship Playoff featuring both boys' and girls' wrestling, taking place from March 6 to 8, 2025, and emphasizes the invaluable opportunities that wrestling provides for competition and success in life.
