Jimmy Cinnabon Posted Monday at 07:14 PM Posted Monday at 07:14 PM As much as everyone seems to hate his wrestling style... I think this should go to Beau Bartlett. Last year he was a micron away from being a NCAA champ but lost to Mendez and he still walked off the mat smiling and head held high. Mendez beats him again this year OT (just barely) after Bartlett beat him twice in the regular season and Big 10s. Bartlett fights back to finish 3rd. Finishes his career never a champ, and wrestled up a weight for his team for two seasons. Guy always has a smile on his face and never says anything negative. Great attitude, great sportsman....someone to be admired. 9 3

flyingcement Posted Monday at 07:31 PM Posted Monday at 07:31 PM He did always have a great attitude. Always a smile on his face. Seem to truly enjoy the sport. From the outside looking in, he also appear to be a great teammate. 2
Gene Mills Fan Posted Monday at 07:31 PM Posted Monday at 07:31 PM Always gets up gets his butt to the center shakes hands and always turns and goes to opposing coaches to shake hands! Never a personality crisis. 4
Konquest Posted Monday at 10:03 PM Posted Monday at 10:03 PM I'm also going to throw out the bald duo of Brock Hardy and Parker Keckeisen. You're never going to hear anyone say anything bad about those two because they are great dudes who show respect to all their competition. Mendez said as much in his post-match interview and his presser later on. I was also quite impressed with Gable Steveson on the podium. 7 3

CHROMEBIRD Posted Monday at 11:28 PM Posted Monday at 11:28 PM He does seem like a great kid. Did he decide to come back last season because of NIL? It caused a little bit of a logjam and I wasn't sure if his heart was into it this time around... 1

CTMopar Posted Tuesday at 12:07 AM Posted Tuesday at 12:07 AM PSU has seen this in the past...4X PIAA CHAMPION not willing to cut weight...Mr. Bartlett entertained at a higher level no doubt but the same result!!!

red viking Posted Tuesday at 12:12 AM Posted Tuesday at 12:12 AM I also liked Ferrari and Steveson. Didn't necessarily expect that great sportsmanship from those 2. 1 1

It was cool to see Keckeisen applauding McEnelly after narrowly beating him, then applauding Starocci after losing to him. I think he also might be the only top opponent that Starocci never disparages and is so quick to compliment. Regarding Gable, I was a little worried when he didn't show up on the award stand at first. They were halfway thru the awards when Gable comes jogging out just in time for his runner-up award and gave props to Wyatt. Respect.

1032004 Posted Tuesday at 12:49 AM Posted Tuesday at 12:49 AM Yes Bartlett and Gable (plus many of the other guys that didn’t win) did have a good attitude 1
Le duke Posted Tuesday at 01:32 AM Posted Tuesday at 01:32 AM Parker had a good interview with Flo after his match. Great kid. Great perspective. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

pokemonster Posted Tuesday at 03:28 AM Posted Tuesday at 03:28 AM Agreed, always an awesome attitude. Wish he would've opened up more, feel like he left some potential on the mat.
Eagle26 Posted Tuesday at 10:29 AM Posted Tuesday at 10:29 AM Agreed. I like the addition of Parker and Hardy as well. Keegan O’Toole needs a mention as well. He would top my list. 1

The only one I can think of off the top of my head was when he thought he beat Nick Lee but then they changed the result after the match was over (and people want to change college to freestyle…), I think it was 10-10 but don’t remember the specifics of the match Edited Tuesday at 11:06 AM by 1032004 1
