Casey Cunningham headed home to Central Michigan after helping Penn State to another title; every PSU wrestler with Michigan roots to follow him to wrestle for the Chippewas
I’ve got Fix with a 16-5 NCAA tournament career record. I think at some point on old forums we figured out Myles Anine had the record for most matches at NCAA tournament, I forget the number but high 20s. Myles had 5 tournaments as well. Fix should end up close and if by chance he loses early and makes a run back to 3rd he might own it. Lewis not as many with the year where he defaulted out after losing in quarters. No clue on Elam career count.
not nominating this guy for most improved but do want to mention him in this discussion, as improvement has been notable. Marlon Yarbrough UVA 133, 14-7, 3rd at ACC, NQ this year. Last year he was 7-10 and year before he was 3-4.
Stephen Neal placed 4th in California before becoming a 4x AA, 2 x NCAA champ plus World freestyle champ. And an outstanding NFL career.
Bruce Bumgartner placed 3rd in NJ before making 3 NCAA finals, winning it as a senior. Plus arguably the greatest freestyle career of any US wrestler.
Joe Williams had a pretty good double leg. Slay over Joe Williams 2000 trials or US Open forget which one but Slay hit a monster double at one point. They had history before that Williams beat Slay in NCAA finals one year.
