jdalu75 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Cowcards gave me permission to post this question, and also suggested rewording to make it easier to understand. I'll post the answer tomorrow (unless someone gets it by then). Who are the only two wrestlers to win an NCAA title while losing a match at that year's tournament? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize it happened and certainly didn't know the names without looking them up but the one tip I'll give is that it helped to know what years to look for.

Fadzaev2 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I've got a good trivia question.......what high school had 3 wrestlers in the NCAA division 1 finals/the same year....who were the wrestlers and what year are we talking about. That year, they finished 1-2-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David "Buddy" Arndt (class of 1939) won titles in 1941-1942 and 1946. The Jennings won back-to-back titles in 1941 and 1942, and Maxwell joined them on the winner's podium in 1942. Actually that^^^ looks like 4 titles in one year (42) not 3 finalists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Bryant Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 @Fadzaev2 I'd recommend looking at 1969 as the start of the modern era, since that's the first year (save '47) freshmen were eligible, so we get to the "four timer" era. 1 Insert catchy tagline here.

Thanks Jas.....I'll back up one year to 1968-1969! That being said, here's another trivia question....who were/are the first two 4 time all-americans......(in the modern era...lol) I like talking "modern era" because was/am alive in the modern era.

So, in 1950 Dick Hutton (1,1,2,1 for Oklahoma St) and Joe Scarpello (1,3,2,1 for Iowa) became the first two four timers. And unless they started the finals at Heavyweight Scarpello would have barely preceded Hutton. 1 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
