silver-medal Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Nate Tomasello won NCAA's as a frosh and went on to only lose three National's matches over the next three seasons. Each loss was in the semis. Each time it was to an Iowa wrestler--Gilman, Clark and Lee. Each time he came back to take third. That takes balls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't pretend to understand how he felt. There is no question that he came back this season at far below 100% for the sole purpose of winning his 4th. But I do want to remind people about Nate Tomasello and the fact he was as determined a competitor as ever took the mat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've read a post where folks knocked Nato. I believe he's still respected by wrestling fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we start deducting percentage points after tge first broken hand in high school that forces you to change your grip? Do we start after first signs of arthritis? After the first major joint injury? After the first surgery that wouldn't take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
