Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School longest winning streak

Who are some kids that have some long winning streaks going? Who is going for their third of fourth straight state title this year?

That Johnson kid from norton is going for his third title and his winning streak is probably close to 50 i think.

Tanner Gardner from Shawnee Heights is on a 60+ match winning streak, starting with the beggining of his Jr. year

If his streak started his junior year, how has he wrestled 60+ matches already?

Yea Tanner how did you get 60+ matches in a season & a half, unless your counting your summer matches also.

60+ match winning streak hahaha thats funny. I know this freshman thats on a 33 match streak too.

Fo Sho

Sorry my friend from Portis put that. Hes a mouthy one.

what was tanner 40-0 last year he's 21-0 this year that makes 60+ if my numbers are correct

Man, you guys are brutal on poor Togam! You are going to see the win totals steadily climb with Kansas finally participating in more dual and pool tournament formats.

Tanner wrestled five matches at the SME dual, six at Colby dual, and eight at Lees Summit. This is not uncommon in most surrounding states. You had a state champ in Iowa last year with 60 wins in a season. Stephen Mocco had over 220 career HS wins at Blairstown Academy (NJ).

Actually, the match totals in Kansas are half of what they should be (look on other state web sites - most programs have their kids in 40 plus matches by State) This is slowly changing. Basically, Togam is just ahead of his time!

How could you win 40 matches ever season.. you would have obviously win every tournament which puts you a lil under 40 if you win state.. so how could someone have 220 in HS even if you won 50 a year which is almost impossible cuz you dont have that many matches unless you count nationals which still prolly wouldnt do it.. you'd only have 200 wins.. and they only have a centinial club.. highy doubtful for 220 or even 50 in one season.

Gardner won consolation semi and his 3rd place match at state as a sophomore. So add two wins to his streak. 63 in a row. 41-0 last year. 20-0 so far.

You have to remember that a lot of states have different rules about matches than Kansas. In the example of the Iowa kid who won 60 matches his senior year, his team's schedule included dual meet tournaments every week of the season. So if you figure eight tournaments with five matches in each, that's 40 right there. Then you add a regular dual meet schedule, there's probably 10 more, then add in that Iowa has a Sectional tournament (2-3 matches) and a District tournament (2 matches) and State (4 matches), getting to 60 anymore isn't difficult up there.

That's a lot of matches, but it's becoming more common.

Plus five matches in the Iowa state dual team tournament! The majority of your Iowa state champs will have between 45 and 53 wins now. Add the state and dual team format and it climbs pretty quickly. I believe one of the Paulson twins ended up with nearly 200 career wins at the end of last season.

is earl jones going after his third title? Doesn't he currently have a pretty good win streak going?

Mat Gilliland from Hoxie lost in the finals of last year's Hoxie Invite to Kapaun's Hoover. He hasn't lost since. Won his next 32 in a row last year and probably has 17 +/- wins so far this year.

patton from wellsville is goin for his 3rd title this year

How many straight wins does Bogart have now?

between 50-60 wins

Just a note but you can, in fact, wrestle 40 matches in a year, especially if you go to several two day tourneys and wrestle on pigtales which happened to several top ranked kids at the Basehor Tourney. I've had several wrestlers wrestle as many as 36 in a year without a great deal of two days that are so common now. Tanner is pretty darn good and he has been to a lot of big match tourneys. I am betting he did just what they say he did.

What about Adam Venegas, I know he is 19-0 this year....I know he won state last year, was he undefeated last year too?
