Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School 4 Time State Champs

Been away from board. Any newly crowned 4 time State Champs?

Zac Gentzler

He is our 28th 4X Champion. Correct?

I have complete list on my computer at home, I can post it tonight when I am home.

Any 321A or 4A guys do it this year or are any 3 timers on track to do it next year?

Brogan Humphrey is a 3X Champion as a Junior.

As is Tagen Lambotte

And it might be a bit premature, but Sean Desazer is a 2-timer as a sophomore.

Saw this posted on here few years ago, it may need to be added to.....I don't believe it is up to date.

Great list, thanks! Oeser and R.Cotton do stand out in this list, as they likely wrestled a much higher % of upperclassmen in their fresh/soph years.

Good point. Remember that kid for the KC area that was a THREE time state champ and took 3rd as a freshman - I believe his name was Justin Dyer. And he won his titles at like 189 pounds back in the mid 90's. That was pretty impressive. I think his over-all record was something like 150 - 3.

29th i believe

How many since Romero....Cokeley, Shumacher....who else?

Pursel last year.

Kevin Seybold

Goddard Duo Caldwell and Beard
Smith Centers Colt Rogers

I thought E.K Franks from Wellington won 4 sometime around 1990?

1987 1 (4A) Franks, E.K. Wellington 138
1988 1 (4A) Franks, E.K. Wellington 145
1989 1 (4A) Franks, E.K. Wellington 152

E.K. was 3-timer, his only State loss was semifinals his freshman year, to my brother Jay Harris (then a junior) in OT referee decision, was incredible match. That was 1986.

I had the pleasure (sort of) of coaching against nine of these four timers. The three that stand out to me were Duell, Ware, and Roberson. They were the most dominant all four years of any of the guys that I saw. They were really special. Everyone on this list is special but brother those guys were a handful.

1974 1 (3A) Oeser, Roy Kapaun Mount Carmel 155
1975 1 (3A) Oeser, Roy Kapaun Mount Carmel 155
1976 1 (3A) Oeser, Roy Kapaun Mount Carmel 167
1976 1 (All) Oeser, Roy Kapaun Mount Carmel 167
1977 1 (3A) Oeser, Roy Kapaun Mount Carmel 167

To me, this is the most impressive HS career in Kansas history. Winning state at 155 as a FR? Unheard of. Won Grand State his Junior year and got 2nd at Grand State his Sophomore year losing only to Bill Boyle. Someone must have his Won/Loss record???
