98 - 119 in HS. 126 College intramurals. 135 in a bad idea to wrestle in an open tournament in my early 30s.

1978 Princeton Relays (track & field). Opening height of 6'6" (my then-PR, IIRC), I cleared it, and no higher. Franklin Jacobs, then-world indoor record holder, started at 6'10" without any warmup jumps. First attempt: miss. Second attempt: miss. (me: I might beat the world record holder!). Third attempt: cleared it by about a foot. Oh, well.

Dave Sims in my best event 1500 free Mary T. Meagher in her best event 200 fly

The weight question is fun, so here's another for the commentariat: who was the best guy to ever beat you. Years and weights would be cool. Scores, too . . . and all poetic lincense will be forgiven. I'll start: edit (I first posted about about a little League match, but I'll offer one that I have a better memory of) In 1995 at 142, Mike Krafchik must have hit 7low singles on me. Every time I tried to close the gap, he just disappeared and dumped me right on my butt. Teched me. I think I rode him for 30 seconds though. Yay me! To add insult to injury, I think he's a doctor ... So not only could he whip my ass, I assume his house is bigger than mine.

Kids 64… 70… 82…87.. hs 103 112 119 125 college 126 (cut was brutal). 134… cut was still hard…. Even up a weight lol. 134 jr year. got injured early, never competed again.

Cary Kolat 4 times. 2x in Jr. High a major and regular decision. 1x at a summer tournament in high school a decision. 1x in freestyle by tech fall. All losses of coarse.

Not a live match but scrapped a few minutes (maybe just one minute) with Mark Perry in junior high and he tied me in a knot real fast. I was JV quality for sure but beat everyone in the room at my weight until the high school squad showed up.

Alot of wrestlers on this board, curious what weights everybody wrestled in Highschool or College. I started in 8th grade 1996. Couldn't beat the guy at 158 so they bumped up two weights to Heavy (215). Strength was my strength. I had to make 159 to jump the 167 weight class. No weight cut was so nice.. In Highschool I wrestled at 160, 189, 171. Did not wrestle senior year due to needing a job to pay for my 1994 Pontiac Firebird. V6 baby!! How about you guys? Let's hear it!

HS: 275 (PA did not have 215 until a few years after I graduated) college: 285, 197, 235 (NCWA) made it to 198 last summer on a dare!

HS/NJ... Morris Co. 70-71 thru 73-74 Mendham HS Frosh 115 Soph 123 (didn't want to cut the wt) Morristown HS Jr 115(had to cut to get the varsity slot) Sr 122... I was light for the weight(+ I didn't feel like cutting down to 115) Blair Academy 74-75 PG... try to make the cut to 115 but it was a no-go. Wrestled 2 bouts at 129 & went 1-1. Did some club wrestling in the early 80'sin the summer while helping coaching the Morristown youth team during the winter seasons (Twin Town Tigers) "Retired" at 28. D3

119, 125, 125, 130 i was dropping 20+ lbs each season right after football. That part wasn’t fun lol

I don't have anyone but my kid has been beaten by Zach Elam, Rocky Elam, Colton Hawks, DJ Shannon, and Jack Flynn. Just off the top of my head. Lol. He was at a tough weight. He weighed 170lb-180lb all thru high school but we had no one at the heavier weights. So he wrestled 195lb and 220lb. Character building for sure.

Pat Smith 11-5 FS Favorite Color: Blue

Jerry White - 177# - Penn State 1976 He was 3rd @ 177 in 1977, I was one of his 23 career pins.

All that have programs and provide a platform to compete are loyal. Only schools that dropped programs have been disloyal. If you are a wrestler that expects more than a chance to compete you are an entitled, whining butt-hurt tiny ass.

HS: 103, 119, 112, 112 College: undersized 125 (wished they still had the old 118 I could have made it)

I wrestled 112 10th-senior.

98, 105, 112, 126

Two best to ever beat me I wrestled same day, freestyle tournament ‘83 or ‘84. 1) Steve Martin who ended up being an AA at Iowa. Beat me 12-0. Like he was drilling, relatively painless but still humiliating. 2) Joe Stukes who ended up being 3x top 4 in D2. Beat me 14-1 (who the hell knows how I got 1). Worst physical beat down I ever suffered.

Reese Andy (Wyoming) 3X All-American, 2X finalist.

It was over seven years ago, so there's that...

How is she doing?

Dang, my Mom said I was conceived in a Pinto. Your name isn't Larry is it? Eddie? Vince?

As well as the walkons that aren't going to change schools because of wrestling but still wanted to be involved in the sport .I was an invited walkon at a D1 school, never started a match but provided a good workout partner probably could have competed at a lower level but I wasn't going to leave the school I wanted to be at for academics if they had done this while I was in school

I guess I left out current weight, walking around at 145ish

HS-119/140/140/145 college 149/157 current walking around weight- 160

Started at 58 lbs in the 3rd grade -- my team at the time already had two future state champs and another kid who became NCAA champ. After that I had matches at all of the weight going up and even a few in H.S. at unlimited, although I also was wrestling at 185.

Currently 210 trying to get my abs back lol

HS 103, 103, 125, 135 College 141/149 Now 170ish

HS: 112-112-160-135*. I was injured junior year and wrestled one match on JV at 160. Didn't wrestle senior year because of an eligibility issue but would have gone 135 most likely. Post HS: 141, 132, 184.

Please show me where I criticized anything....I'll wait.... And I didn't say it was a gotcha moment, I ask if it was and if that is why he posted the video because I don't understand how it is a gotcha moment, if it is one. If you had so much interest in what I was posting that you came on here multiple times and commented, I'd assume you actually would have read what I wrote...clearly you haven't.

Should we all chip in and get MP tics for tonight?

Here's a link to the schedule... https://theatticcolumbus.standuptix.com/

senior year had to start at 119 until the 2 pound allowance. I think I was walking around about 124 in september. I know after every holiday I had to be putting the rubber suit on to do my 3 miles on the road, automatic -3.5 pounds!

Very similar path for me. 145-152-171-189 (9-12th grade)

Wow that's a lot of wrestling! Impressive you remember all those weights..

The jump from 171 to 189 was crazy! I was a tweener who walked around about 182.
