I think Jared Vogel has to qualify as one of the best in the last 5 years.

This is just a short list of wrestlers who have impressed me on a "wow"-level for a High School wrestler in the '00 era, and are all wrestlers I hope continue to remain a standard for Kansas High School wrestling:

Shawn Bunch
Eric Leudke
both McCormick's
Austin Devoe
Joe Johnston
Tanner Gardner
Ross Taplin
Joseph Cornejo
Tommy Edgmon
Neil Erisman
and Tristan Deshazers headlock

its obviously hard to say who the single best was but cody garcia definitly deserves to be mentioned in this debate. he was so smooth and fast on his feet; and has gone on to be quite successful in college.

I agree, Cody Garcia and Jesse Strawn both deserve to be mentioned.

I would have to say the Ross Taplin gave me the most brutal beating ever in a high school match. Very aggressive, fast, and strong as heck. Also in great condition. He was the only person ever in high school that was INTIMIDATING to me anyways. All I know is this: when wrestling Ross Taplin, even if you win the match, his roughness will make you feel like you lost. I haven't seen anybody else dominate a state bracket like he could in the last 5 years. No offense to Curtis Chenowith, but pinning a future NAIA national champion in the first period is very impressive to me.

I have to agree with Schmee32; Danny Grater should be in there somewhere as well.

Columbus had three state champions that year... and I believe there were 7 in the state finals?
