PortaJohn Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) @Husker_Du or @Jason Bryant are the best two to answer this. I remember PIAA had 6 finalist in 2018 & 7 finalist in 2021 but they never went (1) or (2) the same year at the state tournament Edited February 9, 2023 by PortaJohn 1 I Don't Agree With What I Posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PencilNeck Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 I'm far, far from a historian, but check out '91-'92 AA (1992 tournament, big schools) for Illinois. In particular, 140 had two future NCAA champions (though different years) squaring off in the final https://ihsa.org/data/wr/records/ybyyr5.htm 140 pounds Place Name School 1 Ernest Benion Romeoville (H.S.) 2 Eric Siebert LaSalle (L.-Peru) 3 Scott Benson Naperville (Central) 4 Jayson Querciagrossa Peoria (Woodruff) 5 Steve Gerstung Arlington Heights (Hersey) 6 Steve Bakey Barrington In addition, a future NCAA finalist was champ at 103, and a Joe Williams won 152. '93 also featured 3 future NCAA Champs (TJ Williams in addition to Siebert and Joe Williams from the prior year) Another random thought - If you won an IHSA title in the AA class at 145 pounds in the '90s, you had an excellent chance of winning an NCAA title later on! https://ihsa.org/data/wr/records/ybych1.htm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Bryant Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 This is one of those things where you have to have an idea of a group of wrestlers first rather than data just showing you something. I can pull up the hometowns of every single placewinner in college wrestling (save the NCWA) history, so that can probably get closer. I don't (yet) have a database of state champions and placers to cross reference. 2 Insert catchy tagline here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
