Vince I think you are right. I got a message in to Duane about it. He will know, because I am certain his brother Dwight wrestled on that last team.
Coach Westphal,
Thank you. I think I am correct too. Here is another article about Mehringer
from the kuhistory.com website that states in the article that the KU program was dropped in 1966.

KU's Greatest Grappler
In the pantheon of KU Olympic heroes, track athletes and basketball stars loom large. A person would hardly expect to find a wrestler among the great milers and hoopsters. The University of Kansas never developed a reputation for producing great wrestlers, and indeed unable to compete against perennial powers in the conference such as Iowa State and Oklahoma State, KU dropped its program in 1966. And so it might seem surprising that in 1932, one of its students claimed an Olympic gold medal as a grappler. Indeed, his was the first gold medal ever awarded to a KU athlete.
