Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School 100 wins??????

There are a lot things to consider that only the poster may know first hand. Was the wrestler always great in Kids' Fed, or were they just pretty darn good. How tough was their schedule throughout their high school career, who did they wrestle, how many times did they battle injuries or illnesses and still get out on the mat to compete, how many losses were by 3, 2, 1 point(s)?

I am hopeful that my son makes it to 100 and he is within reach. He was a pretty darn good wrestler in Kids' Fed but only made it to Kids' State twice, his high school has always wrestled a tough schedule, he has wrestled a laundry list of some of the best in the state, he has wrestled through a couple of injuries and at least a hand full of times that he was getting over an illness, and he has lost quite a few matches to solid competition by a few points or less. I will post a congrats to him on the forum when he makes it to 100 and I will be proud of him just as much if he falls a win or two short of that number. I know what he has accomplished and I know how far he has come.

I read most of this and wondered if some of you had forgotten what it was like to be in a wrestling room. No, a 100 wins does not equal greatness, hell, with 4 classifications, 2 or 3 state championships does not just by its virtue equal greatness. But, its still one heck of an accomplishment. Greatness is something special, something that gets talked about years later, like on that thread about dominance. But, a 100 wins means a kid went thru a lot of tough practices, probably had to cut weight while everyone else was eating during the holidays, and most of all, there were probably times when he got his a** kicked on the mat in front of family and friends. No 100 wins means something (no not as much to the kids that wrestled all year and in kids club)and should not be looked down upon. And, if you want a different measuring stick, the 150 win thread does that with out cutting down anyone else's accomplishments. Just my thoughts.

Used to be less wrestlers with 100 wins. Used to be fewer 6'5" 300lb lineman in football too. It's not shocking to see either these days, but 100 wins is still a bunch, and a 6'5" 300lb lineman is still big. simple as that.

Speaking from the perspective of a wrestler who had 93 career wins in high school, yes 100 wins is still a pretty big milestone for any wrestler
