Bonus Trivia.

For those of you who are really bored at work today.

There are also seven wrestlers who absolute zeroed it in the non-freshman eligibility eras. Name them.

Mike Caruso

Do we count David Arndt?  I can't tell for sure if they seeded the 1946 NCAAs.  He was a 2X returning champ and was placed on the end of the bracket.  In 1941 and 1942 he won it as the #1 seed.

There was no seeding in the 1946 tournament. Being the first post-war tournament the site was only chosen 6 weeks in advance. There were "only a few entries from the Eastern institutions largely on account of the early war-time schedules which were still in operation in that section. The Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association Championships were held on February 8 and 9; hence it could not be reasonably expected that contestants from this section would remain in condition for another six weeks after their wrestling season was over."

So, sorry Dave Arndt, but you are out on a war-time technicality.

I'll look later but off the top of my heard, does Uetake make the 3 for 3 wrestle to seed every year club?

He was a #2 seed in 1964. Suspect seeding that year. The #1 seed was 0-2 BBQ.

I bet Willie would have had him at #1

Mike Johnson, 4x state champ from Lock Haven HS (Pitt college). 84-0 HS. Never taken down.
Lost first match- forfeited next. Likely injured. Apparently never wrestled again.
