Someone already got him and everyone knows about him.  I went with one no one else (even knownothing) would ever think of.  🙂

JB informed me.  Scrolled up and saw the chap from Wisconsin beat you to it.  But that's still a L' for you.  You're supposed to be the Uetake guy

Uetake Uetake Uetake 

Guy might've beat me on the first but Uetake won 3 times to no HS so I beat him on accuacy.  😉

btw:  I am just a bit chapped that that man stole my response.  🤨

Phil Davis. I believe placed 4th as a senior in PA 3A. NCAA Champ at PSU.

Already listed, along with every other NCAA Division I champ that did not win a PIAA title.

Tom Scully was a 3x PA. state champ.

Tom never won PIAAs. They had a separate Pa Catholic championships back then. His younger brother Pat was IIRC the first Beth Cath PIAA champ.

Thanks for that, Gimp.  I didn't think to include PA Catholic championships in my research.  Just looked at National Preps because that tourney is often time considered to be equivalent on a state title.

Question:  Did the PA Catholic championship feed into the National Prep tourney at that time?

No. I'm not sure if some of those Catholic schools went to the Preps The Philly Catholic schools went to Preps for some years but don't know if they were in Pa Cath. But we didn't have qualifications back then. That's relatively recent (~20 years)

Baumgartner is the only jersey one I can think of…Tanelli was close 2nd and 3rd in HS and 3rd in college but can’t find any others 

Did Cassar ever win a state title? I thought he didn't qualify for state tournament or something like that.

Thanks... I remembered an interview where Cassar said he couldn't even qualify for states when he wrestled in high school, but it looks like he qualified and won a title during his senior year

I wrestled in California...tons of folks fall into this category as there is only one division, like Derek Moore, who wrestled for Davis and won a NCAA title...I think he placed 4th as a HS senior...

There's also Jamill Kelly who I believe never was never a state or NCAA champion but won an Olympic medal. I think that's pretty rare in freestyle, but not 100% sure

That's right! I think he placed 4th at the Cali state tournament. I have to check that....
