Very impressive how he beat returning world silver medalist Yianni 2-0.  I think he has actually has potential to do better than Gable Steveson (also Indiana born) this year in international competition.

No. Not better than Gable S. 

Runner Up Prize is that he is the best Wrestler Named Lee. Few would have predicted this 2 years ago but it panned out none the less.

We need a ranking of people with the last name Lee from Indiana.

My rankings are 

1. Chris Lee- Father of the three brothers, he's tough as nails, wouldn't mess with him
2. Pete Lee- heavyweight champ when it was unlimited
3. Joe Lee- He's the middle child, way meaner than Nick and Matt
4. Hayden Lee- beat Nick in a match
5. Brayton Lee- He won more state titles than Nick
6. Ryan Lee- 3rd at heavyweight, size matters
7. Garrison Lee- bigger than most Lees so he's dangerous
8. Nick Lee- decent, if he works hard he might be able to win a few matches
9. Matt Lee- baby of the family, but still pretty good
10. Charles Lee- 185lb placer

Matt Lee is wrestling 165 lbs / 74 kg now. I am guessing he can take Nick. Drop him down.

The give a Hodge award for freestyle?  🤔

I will trump you and say that weight classes exist for a reason.

Were Lee better he would prove it on the mat.

All right, lets play counting games.

Higher win percentage-Lee.

Higher bonus rate-Lee.

More titles-Lee.

More NCAA points-Lee. 

More world teams-Lee.

Those are all face cards... the Hodge Trophy is the Ace of Spades.  Hodge still wins.

Sarah Hildebrandt takes the cake in terms of Senior level success, no?

Four senior level world medals, including an Olympic bronze.

Technically Richard Voliva was an Olympic Silver

Expand  

Richard Voliva, a Distinguished Member inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in 1984, was born on this date in 1912. #LegendsLiveOn

Every university welcomes home-grown talent. So when Indiana University Wrestling was building a wrestling power in the early 1930s, it was happy to find a young state champion right at home in Bloomington.

As a sophomore, Dick was a member of the Indiana University Athletics team that claimed the 1932 NCAA championship, first ever for a Big Ten school.

He amassed individual honors the next two years, reaching the national finals in 1933 and winning both Big Ten and NCAA titles as a senior, closing with a 48-4 record. He also starred in football, and as a senior was presented a special award for bringing honor and distinction to his university.

Dick won a silver medal at the Olympics in Berlin in 1936.

On returning from the Olympics, he joined the faculty at Montclair State University in New Jersey and soon launched a wrestling program there, serving as coach until World War II brought a four-year interruption. He had been commissioned a second lieutenant in the Army upon graduation in 1934, and during active duty he rose in rank to lieutenant colonel.

Dick returned to New Jersey in 1946, but at the state university, Rutgers University. He coached Rutgers Wrestling for 25 years, guiding his teams to 148 victories against 85 losses and eight draws.

He was a leader among his colleagues, serving five years on the NCAA rules committee, two of them as chairman. He was president of the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association and of the National Wrestling Coaches Association.
