peanut Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 A number of wrestlers from Indiana are worlds, which is incredible given that the state didn't produce an NCAA champ during the modern era until the mid 90s. Here are the wrestlers from Indiana I know about: FS -- 57kg -- Micic (silver/gold) FS -- 65kg -- Lee FS -- 125kg -- Parris (bronze) WW -- 50kg -- Hildebrandt WW -- 62kg -- Miracle Not bad for a lower-tier state! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Indiana isn't a lower-tier state. Where do you get that? Most people put it right around #10 or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanut Posted September 18, 2023 Author Share Posted September 18, 2023 I believe Micic is Indiana's first-ever world champ. Congrats Stevan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bruce has to be considered an honorary Indianan Craig Henning got screwed in the 2007 NCAA Finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 The growth in The Region helps, pretty soon I would think we should be seeing more Indiana folks with the growth of the Indianapolis suburbs and the amount of money in that area (on the national level, Brownsburg, Center Grove HS) Nick Lee representing Southern Indiana (Evansville) and Mason Parris repping the Cincinnati area (I guess both are Southern if you are north of Indy) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldog Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) I just noticed wrestlers raised in Indiana have scored more points than any other US state in this year's world championships. Clearly, this indisputable data point indicates that Indiana is the Dagestan of the United States. Sorry Pennsylvania. Too bad, Ohio. New Jersey? Meh. Hoosierland is the place to be to win matches at Worlds. Edited September 20, 2023 by Bulldog 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
