    More information about "InterMat's All-Quarter Century Team: Iowa State"
    Our All-Quarter Century feature moves on to one of the premier programs throughout the history of our sport - Iowa State. The Cyclones have had their ups and downs during this quarter century, still they have managed to capture a handful of NCAA team trophies and have finished second at nationals twice. Oh, by the way, Iowa State had one of the greatest collegiate athletes ever finish his career during the last 25 years. At the time, Cael Sanderson was only the second wrestler to win four DI national championships. He remains the only one to go undefeated. Looking at our first, second, and third teams, there actually weren’t that many crazy decisions compared to other schools. Seeing Joe Heskett on the second team is a bit shocking. He was one of the biggest stars of his era; however, you also have David Carr. A good problem to have for Cyclones fans. One oddity for Iowa State is the lack of superstars at 125 and 149 lbs during this time. We used a couple of wrestlers who were also eligible for consideration at 133 for the second and third team at 125. The first team member at 25 only wrestled one year for ISU. Wrestlers considered for the three teams had to compete from 2001 to 2025. For the wrestlers early in this timeframe, their entire collegiate body of work was considered. Only collegiate results were taken into consideration. Even if a wrestler was successful at multiple weights, they were only selected for one weight - typically, it was based on the strongest possible first team. After the three All-Century teams, there are some fun facts about Iowa State’s results over the past 25 years. Here are the programs we’ve already covered Cornell Illinois Lehigh Minnesota Missouri NC State First team 125 lbs - Andrew Long: Creston, Iowa - 2x AA (3,2), 2010 NCAA runner-up, 2010 Big 12 runner-up, 2011 Big Ten champion 133 lbs - Zach Roberson: Overland Park, Kansas - 3x AA (1,4,7), 2004 NCAA champion, 2004 Big 12 runner-up 141 lbs - Nate Gallick: Tucson, Arizona - 3x AA (1,2,5), 2006 NCAA champion, 3x Big 12 champion, 2x NCAA #1 seed 149 lbs - Bill Maldonado: Hammond, Indiana - 1x AA (6), 2022 Big 12 runner-up 157 lbs - Trent Paulson: Council Bluffs, Iowa - 3x AA (1,4,4), 2007 NCAA champion, 2x Big 12 champion, 2x NCAA #1 seed 165 lbs - David Carr: Canton, Ohio - 4x AA (1,2,3,1), 2x NCAA champion, 4x Big 12 champion, NWCA 1st Team All-American 174 lbs - Jon Reader: Davison, Michigan - 3x AA (1,4,7), 2011 NCAA champion, 2011 Big 12 champion, NCAA Round of 12 finisher 184 lbs - Cael Sanderson: Heber City, Utah - 4x AA (1,1,1,1), 4x undefeated NCAA champion, 4x Big 12 champion 197 lbs - Jake Varner: Bakersfield, California - 4x AA (1,1,2,2), 2x NCAA champion, 2x Big 12 champion 285 lbs - David Zabriskie: Long Branch, New Jersey - 3x AA (1,5,6), 2010 NCAA champion, 3x Big 12 champion, 2x NCAA #1 seed Second team 125 lbs - Earl Hall: Homestead, Florida: 2x AA (7,8), 2x Big 12 runner-up, NCAA Round of 12 finisher 133 lbs - Nick Fanthorpe: Naperville, Illinois - 1x All-American (7), 2x Big 12 champion, 2x NCAA Round of 12 finisher 141 lbs - Aaron Holker: Orem, Utah: 2x AA (7,1), 2002 NCAA champion, 2002 Big 12 champion 149 lbs - Jarrett Degen: Belgrade, Montana: 1x AA (7), NWCA 1st Team All-American, Big 12 runner-up, NCAA Round of 12 finisher 157 lbs - Cyler Sanderson: Heber City, Utah: 2x AA (6,7), 2x conference champion (1x Big 12, 1x Big Ten), 2x NCAA Round of 12 finisher 165 lbs - Joe Heskett: Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio: 4x AA (1,2,2,3), 2002 NCAA champion, 3x Big 12 champion, 3x NCAA #1 seed 174 lbs - Lelund Weatherspoon: Jackson, Michigan: 1x AA (6), 2x Big 12 champion, 4x NCAA qualifier 184 lbs - Kurt Backes: Neshanic Station, New Jersey: 2x AA (2,7), 2x Big 12 champion, 2x NCAA Round of 12 finisher 197 lbs - Kyven Gadson: Waterloo, Iowa: 3x AA (1,4,6), 2015 NCAA champion, 3x Big 12 champion 285 lbs - Scott Coleman: Manhattan, Kansas: 2x AA (7,8), 2005 Big 12 runner-up Third team 125 lbs - Matt Azevedo: Las Vegas, Nevada: 3x NCAA qualifier, 2001 Big 12 3rd place, NCAA Round of 12 finisher 133 lbs - Evan Frost*: Metairie, Louisiana: 1x AA (6), 2024 Big 12 runner-up 141 lbs - Nick Gallick: Tucson, Arizona: 2x AA (3,5), 2x Big 12 champion 149 lbs - Mitch Mueller: Iowa City, Iowa: 4x NCAA qualifier, 3x Big 12 runner-up, 2x NCAA Round of 12 finisher 157 lbs - Cole Sanderson: Heber City, Utah: 4x NCAA qualifier, 2001 Big 12 runner-up, 2x NCAA Round of 12 finisher 165 lbs - Travis Paulson: Council Bluffs, Iowa: 3x AA (5,6,6), 2007 Big 12 runner-up, NCAA Round of 12 finisher 174 lbs - Tanner Weatherman: Huxley, Iowa: 4x NCAA qualifier, 3x Big 12 runner-up, 3x NCAA Round of 12 finisher 184 lbs - Marcus Coleman: Ames, Iowa: 2x AA (5,7), 2023 Big 12 runner-up 197 lbs - Zach Thompson: Cleveland, Ohio: 2x AA (2,8), 1999 Big 12 champion, NCAA Round of 12 finisher 285 lbs - Yonger Bastida*: Trinidad, Cuba: 1x AA (5), 2024 Big 12 champion, NCAA Round of 12 finisher, NCAA #2 seed *= Still active Fun Facts 11 wrestlers have combined to win 14 NCAA titles during this span That doesn’t include the first two of Cael Sanderson’s historic undefeated career Sanderson won two of his three Hodge Trophy’s during this quarter century.

    How about evidence you lied about Flo's predictions, which is what is said in the post you quote.

    If she wins in a fair election then the people will have made their choice. That she has expressed a reluctance, or doubt, for her entitlement, could spell a refreshing break and a better adherence to the Constitution’s original concept.

    No one. No one promising coming up either. We have traditionally been weak at HW, our last world champ prior to Zare was in 1989 and of course Ghasemi with his olympic gold. But you can get a lot of years and medals out of a good HW. They have time to produce someone. It's not a big deal as no country has any depth at HW right now except maybe Azerbaijan with their two transfers ( Masoumi and the Paris olympic bronze Georgian guy). And by the time Masoumi is even allowed to wrestle for them the Georgian guy could no longer be a factor as he is 33. Who is that in your profile pic anyway, lol. He looks familiar.

    Top Ten Teams Returning Points Hopefully this one is not too tough to read. I attempted to capture both transfers and returning redshirts (and the combination of the two) in a single chart. For example, Oklahoma State: Has three returning scorers from last year's team (orange), And 1 returning from redshirt (black). They also picked up an Iowa State transfer who redshirted last year, And an Arizona State transfer who did not. Note: These totals do not reflect any lineup decisions. For example, PSU has 8 returning scorers of varying vintages, but some of them may not start while being replaced by a wrestler with no tournament scoring history.
  15. Wrestleknownothing
    And finally a table. Horizontal change represent consolidation in a weight. For example, 184 gained points from both 174 and 197. Vertical change represents dispersion from a weight. For example, 197 gave up points to 174and 285. Reading in both directions shows both sides of the coin. For example, 157 gave up 33.5 points to 165, but received 31 from 149.

    Next a Sankey Diagram for the more linear in the crowd.
  17. Wrestleknownothing
    Pretty Picture Time Speaking of moving around weights, here are two ways to visualize the movement of returning points between weights. First a Chord Diagram. The color of the chord represents the previous weight. The destination weights are listed within the colored sections. The numbers around the outside are the point totals (also represented by the width of the chords).

    I know, I know. I already did a returning points thread. But now there is more. This time I am including redshirts. For a returning redshirt I used the points (and weight) scored the last time they wrestled. More data = more fun. So here we go. Returning AA's Lets zig a bit before we zag. This one is about career honors rather than last year's points. 133 returns the most total AA honors with 15 from 12 wrestlers. 197 has the most AA's per wrestler with at least one career AA (1.8). 141 has both quality and quantity with 8 wrestlers who have earned an average of 1.75 AA's per. No weight has more than one returning champ, but 141 is also home to the only 2 time champ in Ohio State's Jesse Mendez. Only 184 and 197 do not have a returning champ. Note: AA honors may have been earned at a different weight than the 2026 weight listed for the wrestler on wrestlestat.

    She’s running in a ruby red state legislative district, is on the same ticket at the state house incumbents, is the daughter of a current congressman who is running for governor, there’s most likely no way she will lose with all those factors behind her
  20. Hammerlock3
    If you're gonna lie about Flo's (of all people) predictions I'm sure you're willing lie about your own.
  21. Offthemat
    Pretty weak defense, especially after the E Jean Carroll case. Ongoing conspiracies extend the timeframe to the most recent activity. All to be decided by a court. The reluctance of the Legacy Media to cover the information that’s been released will only further erode the little confidence they have left. So much is being exposed, especially about Hiliary and Ukraine, and how much the Russians were aware of the corruption, while the Legacy Media played their role in hiding the truth and advancing the hoax.
  22. wrestlingguy
    I would bet money she doesn't come close in AZ.
  23. Tripnsweep
    Also that she's a conspiracy theorist and her father is a traitorous scumbag.
  24. Caveira
    The outrage. Sydney Sweeney is getting more press. I mean as a dictator on day 1… who was literally going to end democracy. Who exactly does he answer to? He could just delete the whole thing and replace it with a McDonalds happy meal menu if he wanted right?
  25. uncle bernard

  26. Caveira
