Trenge was strong, but I don't think unusually so for the weight class. There were some other guys in the Lehigh room around that time that maybe fit the description a little better with Letters at 165 probably topping the list.
Was Rowlands a big step up from Neal, McCoy, and Angle? I think the weight class is deeper right now than it's usually been, but I'm not sure that they're head and shoulders above the top wrestlers from 25-30 years ago.
