Gallick, a senior from Tucson, Ariz., produced one of the best individual seasons in ISU's storied wrestling program in 2005-06. The 141-pounder capped off the year by going undefeated (35-0) en route to the 2006 national title.
Gallick was the marked man at 141 pounds during the year, earning the top spot at his weight class in the preseason rankings. He defeated all contenders, beginning the year by capturing his second Midlands title. He later became just the 11th wrestler in ISU history to win three conference titles, earning Most Outstanding Wrestling Award honors at the 2006 Big 12 Championship. His top competition came from Oklahoma's Teyon Ware, who defeated Gallick in the finals of the 2005 141-pound NCAA Championship. Gallick got revenge against Ware on all four occasions in 2005-06, defeating his nemesis in the finals of the NWCA All-Star meet (4-1), Big 12 Championship (5-3) and the NCAA Championship (3-2). The three-time All-American ended his career with a 106-23 record.
