11986

I think Coleman Scott is one. 2005 through 2008. Seeded 9, 6, 4, 3; placed 8,5,2,1

Fee App St?

in addition to Taylor I think there are other guys who could have reasonably won OW over Strobel. For starters, the 3 champs from Clarion: 134 champ Rohn won from the 8 seed. No bonus wins other than a 26-6 1st rd win over an unseeded wrestler, but he did beat the 1,4, and 2 seeds to win it all. 167 champ Simpson won from the 4 seed. Started off with two pins over unseeded guys, then beat the 5 in OT, 12-5 over the 1, and 7-3 in finals over the 2 seed. and of course 158 champ Wade Schalles. 4 pins, albeit 3 over unseeded guys, and a 9-2 finals win over the 2 seed. Schalles was OW the year before, maybe there was some sentiment to not give it to same guy 2 years in a row?

Greg Strobel was OW

I think it's Chris Taylor, 1973

thought he might be the guy as well but he won OW that year.

think you meant Virginia Tech

Rohn and Trenge for Lehigh in 2002 was another good 1-2 (and that's what they placed that year). Of their 9 combined wins at that tournament, 7 were pins.

Banachs in 1983 as well

add Douglas and Chaid for Oklahoma, 1985

Teague Morre and Eric Guerrero Oklahoma State '97-'99 were a good 1-2 punch TM 4,1,3 over those 3 seasons, EG 1,1,1

or Eggum, Hartung

you could do an Iowa only on this topic and be rock solid: Ed and Lou Banach the year Ed was at 190 Brands bros Steiner Bros Zap and Terry Brands Alger and Rico Strittmatter and Juergens etc

Jason Bryant would know for sure, but I think Ryan Williams either got sick or injured the year he placed 7th after being one of the favorites or maybe another year he was picked to win and got sick/injured...anyway, still a great story.

of swimming, diving, and wrestling....Mark Lenzi won Olympic Gold in diving in '92 and then earned Bronze in '96. He was a district champ in wrestling before deciding to focus on diving. I beat him once in a summer tournament and revisionist history joke I make is it was that defeat that led him to hang up the shoes and try to be the next Louganis. Added bonus - I beat an Olympic Gold medalist in wrestling.

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

Put wrestlers in a pool and sooner or pool wrestling will occur. I had a HS 'mate who was 6'5" and wrestled 185 (state qualifier). He was also a good (local level) competitive swimmer. That dude was the king of pool wrestling.

Pat Smith was seeded #1 all 4 years he won it

escapes me now, think he wrestled for Iowa St? 20-25ish years ago?

Cael

Steve Martin messed that up

justify the ball cradling too....

hell of an endorsement for our fine sport.... and yes I know I'm picking something out and not using in context of overall point, but still

does the Gorilla get the win if he defeats one Mesenbrink by pinfall or must he pin all 100?

stylistically reminds me a little of Lincoln McIlravy
