Dustin Kilgore

BJ Clagon

Last one especially hits a nerve.  Being from New Jersey & seeing how Clagon performed his senior year into freshman year at Rider was absolutely insane.  To think he was considered a title threat to Zain at one point, and then didn't even qualify for NCAA's in his final year is still mind-boggling to think about.

Would have liked to have seen David Erwin get 4/5 years with Cael and Cunningham instead of only his last one.

@MPhillips do you remember Derek Garcia?

Jason Tsirtsis and Andrew Howe were coaching against each other at freestyle state this past summer

I was pointing them out to some of my kids, who asked "who are those people"

Tsirtsis journey is still one of the more distinct memories I have of first getting into the sport heavily.  Glad he is doing so well for himself nowadays.

Yep. He was from a fairly small farming town that had a strong wrestling program at the time (Sedro Wooley High School) in Washington State. I forget who he beat on his run to a Fargo FS title, but we all collectively were rooting for him at OSU.

Josh Hokit 1 time AA dual athlete

Onto the UFC roster for Hokit...

 

[D3 for LU]

LEHIGH's Ryan Bernholz 1997-2001

AA in his sophomore season 6th at Penn St NCAA's in 1999.

EIWA champ in his RS freshman season 1998... placed 3rd & 5th afterwards, in'99 & '01.

I would say his biggest and most impressive win was his dual win over Penn's Yoshi Nakamura @ 157.

It went into OT and Ryan won in 1-1 tiebreaker.

It was the last dual of the season and last for Ryan in Old Grace Hall.

THE ENTIRE LEHIGH CROWD LIFTED THE ROOF OFF WITH RYAN'S WIN OVER YOSHI N.

It 

Was

AWSOME!

Ryan qualified for the NCAA's coming in 5th place at the EIWA's (the surprise team champion was the Harvard!)... and he eventually met Nakamura again in the consis, one rnd before the blood round, but came up short 10-5 dec.  Nakamura would eventually place 7th.

 

Oh, but that dual win for Ryan was most memorable!
