boconnell 1,338 Report post Posted June 24 Texas would have a pretty good one from the last 20 years considering we aren't great at wrestling. Slay, Dlagnev, Lawal, Nickal. There is little depth if we tried for even 6 or 8 names but that's a pretty good 4. 3 GockeS, Husker_Du and fadzaev2 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

silvermedal 86 Report post Posted June 25 Assuming we are only picking four, Ohio's might be: Lee Kemp---Ohio's most accomplished international competitor Logan Stieber--One of the finest preps in US history and an accomplished international competitor Bobby Douglas--Accomplished competitor and ground breaking collegiate coach including an NCAA title at Arizona State and the finest collegiate competitor in history, Cael Sanderson Mike Milkovich--Most influential prep coach in Ohio history and certainly one of the finest in the nation during his era. 2 Mphillips and treep2000 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TripNSweep 307 Report post Posted June 25 I'll take a stab at it. Henry Cejudo Eric Larkin Curly Culp Anthony Robles Robles not because he isn't a good wrestler, because he was, but because he was such a high profile athlete while chasing his NCAA title. We've had other guys who were better credentialed in high school and college come through here, Shawn Charles, Thom Ortiz, Eddie Urbano, but Robles had a lot of media attention and was a real inspiration to a lot of people. Coaches, I'll go both HS and college. College not necessarily from here but coached here since we've had a lot of high school coaches who aren't from here too.

wildcatfan1992 47 Report post Posted June 25 Indiana has very little international success, so it limits us to pretty much HS and college. Angel Escobedo Andrew Howe They are the top 2. The next two could be any of the following: Reece Humphrey Sarah Hildebrandt (world silver) Nick Lee (depends how he finishes up) Jason Tsirtsis Kelvin Jackson (NCAA champ at Mich st) Alex Tsirtsis Brayton Lee and Mason Parris could throw themselves in the mix in the next 3-4 years One to keep an eye on just finished his freshman year in HS, Jesse Mendez, currently ranked #2 in the country in his weight class and made the world team this year. He has a chance to be one of Indiana's best ever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kayla Miracle hopefully will be adding to Indiana’s Senior level success on the women’s side soon. She’s had some solid success at the lower levels and finally broke onto the Senior level team this year. In a couple more years Alara Boyd maybe another one to look for on the women’s team. She’s making her way through the junior level now. Edited June 25 by MadMardigain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ari Gold 47 Report post Posted June 25 Maryland Kyle Snyder (3x World/Olympic champ, 3x NCAA champ, 1x World silver, Jr World champ) Helen Maroulis (3x World/Olympic champ, 5x World medalist) Lloyd "Butch" Keaser (World champ, Olympic silver, 2x NCAA AA) Kelly Ward (NCAA champ, 3x NCAA finalist) Others: Rico Chiapparelli (NCAA champ, 3x NCAA AA, Sr US Open champ), Pat Downey (WTT / Final X champ, NCAA AA, Jr World silver), Bill Simpson (NCAA champ), Mack Lewnes (3x NCAA AA (2nd, 4th, 4th)) Toss-up between Ward and Chiapparelli for the final spot.Ward vs. Chiapparelli is not a toss-up at all. Frankly, it’s not even close. Ward had a 91% college win percentage (126-10-2) while Chiapparelli’s was 84% (111-21), with more than 2x as many losses as Ward. Over half of Ward’s losses were to an all-timer in Lee Kemp (and one of his ties too). 3x finalist vs 1x finalist. Ward was also undefeated in High School (90-0).
