I remember going to that year's PIAA's not at all focusing on him. Then he beats a pair of undefeated wrestlers in the semis and finals to win his one and only PIAA title.

KTG119 817 Report post Posted December 19, 2018 some notable 3 timers in the 80s that DNP the 'other year'. I used to have a hard time understanding that, how are you good enough to win it 3x but then can't even place the other year? Some may have been the rules then, wrestleback opportunities were not the same (ie one loss could be all it took to eliminate). Not sure if that applied for any/all of these guys or if there were other circumstances, but a few from the 3x champ/'only' 3xAA club: Mark Schultz Nate Carr Ricky Bonomo Carlton Haselrig Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gimpeltf 1,476 Report post Posted December 19, 2018 Haselrig was 3rd D2 freshman year so didn't qualify. Mark Schultz was at UCLA his freshman year. Lost first round. He had only been wrestling 3 years at the time. 1 KTG119 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
