GLENDALE – The Sunnyside High School wrestling team is on track to make it a dozen state titles in a row.

The Blue Devils advanced seven wrestlers into Saturday’s individual finals at the Jobing.com Arena.

• In 4A-I, Cienega (131 points) sent four wrestlers into Saturday’s finals, including Andy Roche at 145 pounds, to open a commanding lead over Phoenix Thunderbird (94 1/2).

Our Digital Archive

This blog page archives the entire digital archive of the Tucson Citizen from 1993 to 2009. It was gleaned from a database that was not intended to be displayed as a public web archive. Therefore, some of the text in some stories displays a little oddly. Also, this database did not contain any links to photos, so though the archive contains numerous captions for photos, there are no links to any of those photos.

There are more than 230,000 articles in this archive.

In TucsonCitizen.com Morgue, Part 1, we have preserved the Tucson Citizen newspaper's web archive from 2006 to 2009. To view those stories (all of which are duplicated here) go to Morgue Part 1
