I remember back in the day when Karl Monaco from D3 Montclair went to the finals of the D1 tournament. He lost to Krieger from Iowa State. I think this was 1989 or so, and I subsequently learned there were a few D3 finalists:
Kenny Mallory (Montclair) - D1 champion
Tom Martucci (Trenton State) - D1 champion
Karl Monaco (Montclair) - D1 runner-up
Gene Barber (Trenton State) - D1 runner-up
There may be others, but my memory isn’t so hot. I know a few Montclair wrestlers were D1 AA (Pete Gonzalez comes to mind), and probably others I’ve forgotten.
I sort of wish they’d bring the D2 / D3 guys back, it was pretty cool then.
