Ohio Elite Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 4 minutes ago, cowcards said: Fehlbergs was correct. This is going to be a 2 answer question: Back in the 20'-40's not wrestling in HS and being discovered during college intramural wrestling tournaments or because someone played football was decently common. However, as time has gone on that happens less and less. Name the last wrestler that didn't wrestle in HS but qualified for the national tournament? AND Name the 2x National Champ wrestler who was an all-state basketball player and only started wrestling in the military. This is good stuff man! And Google can't answer the question which makes it even better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowcards Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 (edited) Clue for both - The 2x national champ was also an olympian before he even wrestled in college. The other is a current Women's collegiate head coach who wrestled for a DII program that has been dropped. Edited February 26 by cowcards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowcards Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 (edited) Clue - He won his matches the same year his Ivy league school got their first AA. Fun fact - His HS also has had a 2nd NQ. Edited March 1 by cowcards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim L Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Did a quick google search trying to find this and didn't the answer, but lots of amazing stories about blind wrestlers and what they accomplished. One of my HS coaches used to have us spar with our eyes closed, so to a certain extent I get how a blind wrestler can compete. Being able to attend a "regular" college and graduate is every bit as impressive to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to search quite painstakingly to find that He isn't one that has competed at NCAAs, although he should've and was more than capable of winning matches. I'll narrow it down quite a bit more for you. His school was an original member of the EIWA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Gable throw a chair at him? Lieberman was known for his throws.
