In 1998 my heavyweight wrestler, Darrell Zimmerman, did not come out for wrestling until midway though December. He did not wrestle varsity until the second week of January. That is the length of his career. 4A STATE CHAMPION If you are wondering what he did the other three years, yes, he played basketball.

What about Herrera from Emporia, I heard he had minimal expierience and beat some VERY good wrestlers

I believe Tanner Gardner did not start until the 7th grade. Which means that he may STILL may have a lot of room to improve.

Not to discredit Zimmerman's accomplishment at all because he was a very good wrestler, but didn't he have kid's club experience?

I believe that Danny Desazher from Wichita West started his freshman year and was a two timer. Can anyone validate this?

Rose Hill had a guy back in 96 or so that was jv one year and took 1st the next and those were his first two years to wrestle. Chad Collins I do believe.

I do believe Nick Newell had alot of kids experience though. Didn't he wrestle for Beliot when he was younger? As for the shortest state champ, the shortest I ever seen was Seth Metzler!

Tommy Edgmon started wrestling in the 7th grade and went on to be a 3x champ. The crazy thing is that he wrestled 127 and 120 in middle school and 112 and 119 for his state titles.

Well if you seen Tommy in 7th grade you would have recommended that he loose a couple pounds...he was slightly chunky
