OMW Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 5 Hodge Trophy winners: Lee Retherford Dake Brooks Parris * 2 of them won it twice, Retherford and Lee Snyder wasn't awarded a Hodge, but did win a Senior Freestyle World Championship while in college Other than Parris, the other 5 OTT winners have at least 3 NCAA titles each, with Dake and Brooks 4 timers. Retherford and Brooks college teams won 7 NCAA Championships, Snyder's 1 and Lee's 1. ** Interesting item is that in three of the OTT finals, the wrestlers competing were alumni of the same universities: SLee/Gilman, Retherford/NLee and Brooks/Taylor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has to be a record. 18 is a maximum for the team. Lee and Retherford still need to qualify. Could be 12, 15, or 18 at the games. The 1984 team had 19 individual NCAA titles.

Watching that final and realizing there were 7 ncaa titles on that mat was just preposterous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the only time that happened in the tournament. Brooks wrestled Dieringer in the semis. Brooks has 4 titles and Ringer 3. More Hodges on the mat(2 vs 1) in that one too. NCAA records Kyle Dake 137-4, Alex Dieringer 133-4, Jason Nolf 117-3, Aaron Brooks 89-3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If SL & ZR qualify their weights as I think they will the 18 D1 titles will be an amazing record especially as it is from 6 wrestlers - average of 3 each.

Yes, the most NCAA titles per wrestler and possibly the most D1 NCAA titles. The 1984 team also had 4 titles on the greco side with Blatnik a 2x D2 champ and Famiano a 2x D3 champ. I think the 2024 greco team will only have 1 NCAA champ, Joe Rau with a D3 title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
