Everyone loves to talk about Mark's losing record when entering  NCAA's and then winning it. 

But, in my research I discovered another national champ (NAIA) that entered with a losing record...

Thurman Landers of Central Washington:

"As a junior in 1970, Landers delivered the shocker of the national tournament, winning the 142-pound title as an unseeded entry who came in with a 4-9 record. He won five straight matches and topped the unlikely run with a 6-5 decision in the final, a victory that was secured with an escape in the final seconds."

I'd bet there are others out there. Anyone know of worse than 4-9?
