Hey @fishbane, good stuff! Here's some more courtesy of AWN. The short answer is that Carlton Haselrig took 3rd in the 1988 Olympic Trials at heavyweight (Seoul Olympics). There was first a Final Olympic FS Qualifier held in March 1988 in Topeka KS to set up the ladder. What is listed: 1. Bruce Baumgartner (NYAC) d. Tom Erikson (Sunkist) 11-2 3. Carlton Haselrig (Foxcatcher) ... it was noted that Haselrig lost 12-3 to Erikson and that Big Bruce had 3 shutouts 4. Matt Ghaffari (Sunkist) 5. Joel Greenlee (Panther) 6. Curtis Riley (Broncho) Then in Pensecola FL in June the Final Olympic FS Trials were staged. Based on the results it was a 3-man round robin followed by best 2-of-3 knockouts. Final placements: 1. Baumgartner 2. Erikson 3. Haselrig 4. Ghaffari 5. Greenlee Ghaffari d. Greenlee 6-5 Ghaffari d. Riley 18-3 Haselrig d. Ghaffari 5-9, 9-3, fall 5:37 Erikson d. Haselrig 7-3, fall 5:30 Baumgartner d. Erikson 10-2, 8-2 On a sad note, while paging through the issue I noticed the report of the Koslowski brothers winning the Greco spots at 220 and Hwt. RIP Duane Koslowski. And also RIP Brother Morris Johnson who took 4th at Hwt at those 1988 Greco Trials.

As early as the mid-1980s (before Haselrig's run) there were Div I coach objections to Div II and III participation. Cited at the time were Div II CS Bakersfield's 6 individual titles in 5 years at the Div I NCAAs: 1980 Joe Gonzalez (118) 1 1980 John Azevedo (125) 1 1981 Dan Cuestas (125) 1 1982 Dan Cuestas (125) 1 1983 Adam Cuestas (118) 1 1984 Jesse Reyes (142) 1

Mike Hatch was a finalist. At the 1987 Div II Championships Haselrig pin. Hatch 4:29.

Hwt semis (1986) : Hall d. Haselrig 8-6

Lee Allen and Chris Taylor did as well. I think there's at least one more who did.

And Dave Schultz, Gary Bohay (aa ASU and world fs silver), the older Kistler brothers (multiple aa, ASU and Iowa), Pat O'Donnell (aa Cal Poly). A very strong team, then the program was cancelled after the 1980 season
