Fred Olenburger wrestled JV his Sr. year...because of an injury Fred got to wrestle the Derby Tournament and won. The next weekend he was on JV behind a 2X State Champion.
Eddie McGlasson wrestled behind 2x and 3x State Champions for three years at Ark City. Chris Hernandez wrestled up so Eddie could make the team. Eddie made it to the finals that year. Hernandez won his 2nd State Championship.
I believe Scotty Goodale had a losing record his Freshman year. He weighed 100 lbs. and wrestled 112 because 4x State Champion Justin Ware was at 103.
Brooks Travis same scenario the next year. Wrestling behind 3x State Champion and DII National Champion Scotty Goodale. Brooks went on to be a 2x State Champion and Wrestled for the University of Missouri.
I only made the team my freshman year because number 2 seeded wrestler in the state Jace Brew pulled down to 119. I had a losing record my freshman year, 3x State Champ after that.
These are just a few that I can recall...there were several others. So to answer your question BigPin22, depth was a problem.
