Just to wrap up the amazing 2023 wrestling season and to recognize the champions one more time, listed below are the team and individual state champions, multiple-year state champions and some of the statistical leaders. 

Listed at the end of the article are the State Tournament scoring records, including the addition of Stillwater, Edmond North and Bixby in the Top 10 in Class 6A, with Stillwater and Edmond North shattering the Class 6A scoring record in their battle for the state championship and 3rd place Bixby having the 10th highest score ever in Class 6A.
