The match that made them a 3x Champ

[OBXWrestler 108]

J’Den Cox- Lost to Kyle Synder in semis his sophmore year

Zain- Lost to Stieber in the semis his freshman year 

Ed Ruth- Lost to Amuchastagi his freshman year in the quarters 

Jake Rosholt- Lost to Ben Haizer in the semis his sophomore year 

Ringer- Lost to St  John in the semis his freshman year

Greg Jones- Lost to Ralph Everett in the first round his sophomore year

 

 

 

What about the rest of the 3x Champs? What match made them a 3x Champ instead of being a 4x?

If not for Chris Pendelton Ben Askren would be a 4xer

3x NCAA Champ, 1x PIAA Champ his Sr. Year at Greensburgh Salem. 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.

J’Den Cox lost in his sophomore year, not senior year.

Lee Kemp lost to the referee in the finals his freshman year, otherwise he would be a 4Xer.

Snyder, loss in finals to Gadson his freshman year. 

[Bryan 49]

Gray Simons (Lock Haven) was not allowed to compete his freshmen year in the NCAA D1 per the rules but did win the NAIA National Championship.

NaTo losing to Iowa 3x in the semis

Cenzo loss to Mekhi Lewis in the finals in 2020

[KTG119 820]

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

Hutton 1-1 RD to Gagne finals his Jr year

Of course then there's a bunch of 3x undefeated national champs who weren't allowed to wrestle Fr year, which match made them 3xers?

[gimpeltf 2,122]

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.

[gromit 506]

in his freshman year (1980), after winning the big 8, Nate Carr entered NCAAs seeded 4th.  He lost to Roger Frizzell (OK) in the quarters and Tony Surage (Rutgers) in the blood round.  

 

Rick Bonomo was the 10th seed at NCAAs his freshman year (1984).  He lost to Mark Perry (OKst) in the quarters and Tim Riley (Iowa) in the blood round.

Why did Jones not excel at FS? I recall he had a nasty blast double, but that was about 15 years ago and my brain gets fuzzy thinking back that long ago

Probably more interested in getting a job. Back then it was call FREEstyle for a reason.
