All-Star Returning NCAA Champ didn't repeat Lineup

[GranbyTroll 452]

Delgado and/or T-shirts may not make the finals, much less repeat this year. Let's get together a lineup of the best guys who didn't repeat the next year after winning a title. Will update with suggestions.

 

125- Matt McD (twice?)

133- Oliver

141 ish- Dan Gable (?) 

149- Metcalf/Caldwell/Maple

157- Derrick St. John

165 ish- Matt Reiss/ Taylor

174- Drew Howe 

184- Qwright

197- Kilgore 

Hwt- Anthony Nelson/Kerry McCoy 

 

Edit: Bumped Wright down to the weight he didn't defend at, and added in Kilgore who Wright man-handled at 197. Added homer mancrush Metcalf, kept Caldwell as a backup only because who knows if his shoulder has healed, and Maple because: damn.

But  Lincoln McIravy, Greg Jones, Ed Banach, Jeff McGuiness,  TJ Williams,  and Terry Brands all came back to win again

I am gonna second kendrick maple. Barring ignorance of some rare disease, I don't think I've ever seen someone take their foot off as the pedal as abruptly as he did. 

[carp 58]

But  Lincoln McIravy, Greg Jones, Ed Banach, Jeff McGuiness,  TJ Williams,  and Terry Brands all came back to win again

Others who didn't come back: Pete Bush, Jim Heffernan, Mark Reiland, Brad Penrith.

I don't think he mentioned that as a criteria, just that they didn't win a title a year after winning one.

one of the worst displays of wrestling 'knowledge/judgment/opinion/recollection' i have seen in a while.

Isn't Metcalf the poster child of this sucky display of knowledge?

It's between him and David Taylor if we're talking about two consecutive years but not necessarily a career. Along with Gable, those two are way up there in terms of the publicity of their failure to repeat (year on year).

Nobody saw Metcalf losing.  Taylor had a bullseye on him the minute after Dake won his 3rd title at 3 different weights.

You should see the comment section on any Flo video!  

 

There are too many great wrestlers who failed to repeat to really make a worthwhile list....Just start with the list of 3X NCAA champs, see which ones won their freshman year...Then go to 2X NCAA champs, and see which ones won a title their freshman or sophomore year..Then fill out the list.

Kirk Smith did not win a title - he lost in the finals to Asken.

[Old_Marine_Wrestler 245]

Quentin Wright, Dan Chaid, Troy Nickerson, Kerry McCoy, Jimmy Martin, Josh Koschek, Angel Escobedo...

[HurricaneWrestling 1,123]

Some memorable ones for me include:

 

Dan Gable, Larry Owings, Rick Sanders, Wade Schalles, Terry Brands, Ed and Lou Banach, Teyon Ware, Jim Nance, Yoshiro Fujita, and Tadaaki Hatta.  

 

Note: Due to various reasons including upset losses, injuries and eligibility (ex., Schalles).  And, as mentioned previously, some ended up on top of the podium again their senior season.

[RichB 226]

The discussion seems to be under class national champs who failed to defend at least one eligible year. I expect that number would be three figures. So fill in the blank.

 

3 time national champs failed to win their 4th (zero in D1?, other Divisions?? - at least 3 times in PIAA)

 

2 time Champs 2 time OW ??

 

2 time champ 1 time OW - Gable, Dwayne Keller, Rick Sanders ??

 

2 time No OW -- Pat Milkovich, Ed Banach???

 

1 time Champ 1 OW -- ???

 

1 time champ no OW -- 50+

[BigApple 86]

The late Bill Brown who compiled statistics for the NWHOF told me that approximately 25% of NCAA champs repeat.

From back in my day Rod Kilgore won in 1974, 4th in 1975, redshirt 1976, 1st in 1977.
