Kansas Wrestling
Posted By: DamonParker Question about 4x state champs - 03/06/10 02:07 AM
Here's a spinoff topic...didn't want to hijack HLTW's thread. One of our coaches the other day brought up an interesting question. We were discussing how difficult it is to repeat as a champ in the middle to upper weights. Has there ever been a Kansas 4 timer that wrestled at or above 135 as a freshman? In the other thread most of the names I recognized started as smaller guys.

Know for sure that Boaz Beard won at 152 his frshman year. Let me find a list and check some more...
Posted By: Brett Shoffner Re: Question about 4x state champs - 03/06/10 02:25 AM
ok found it...maybe romero cotton as well. I think he started at 145? all the others I know of for sure started under 135, but some of the ones i don't know of might have been heavier.
Posted By: wrestle007 Re: Question about 4x state champs - 03/06/10 02:58 AM
yeah i think cotton went 145, 160, 171, 189.

Good work, Brett. You're a quick one.
Posted By: Ricky Bobby Re: Question about 4x state champs - 03/06/10 03:50 AM
Boaz Beard was the next wrestler to do this after Romero Cotton. Beard won at 152, 160, 171, and 189. Even more impressive is that Boaz was 40-0 as a freshman.

I think Roy Oeser falls in this category.????????

Fun fact...

Only two of these wrestlers went on to become NCAA Division 1 All Americans. Name them...

I believe Goddard only wrestled 321A opponents up until regionals that year. smile JK! That is REALLY impressive. What weights did Caldwell wrestle? I believe he might have made the biggest jump from Freshman to Senior year of any of the 4xers.
Posted By: wrestle007 Re: Question about 4x state champs - 03/06/10 05:43 AM
zach roberson and bo maynes
Posted By: Lucas Baker Re: Question about 4x state champs - 03/06/10 05:50 AM
no i think Bo was a big twelve champ but i do not think he ever placed.
I would guess Gable but sure on the other
Posted By: wrestle007 Re: Question about 4x state champs - 03/06/10 06:22 AM
yeah after some research you are right it's not bo. not sure who it is...

Beloit's and the US Naval Acedemy's Matt Treaster.
Posted By: Lucas Baker Re: Question about 4x state champs - 03/06/10 06:34 AM

Zach Roberson. He was a three time AA including his National Championship year.

Ha, did Will just make a funny? I've never pledged a clear allegiance to any classification. As I remember I detailed two classifications' matches to watch on the front side of the state tournament. I do sympathize with 321Aers because it is very much an us against the world mentality it seems to me.

I like to envision that these predominately "farm boys" are out training Rocky IV montage style. You know like 321A people are Rocky (western heritage and ideologies like democracy ,freedom, folksiness, wholesome, blue jeans, flannel) and everyone else is Ivan Drago (eastern beliefs like Marxism, socialism, communism, hi-tech training and nutrient regiments, smoking hot girlfriends who later fall in love with Flava Flav). I'd like to think those 321A boys are out chucking bales, throwing down calves, chasing chickens in a pen, smashing rocks, squat thrusting a buggy filled with their coaching staff, and running up hills (may they be Gypsum, Blue, Red, Chautauqua, Flint, or Smoky) shouting out at the top of their lungs "Cokeley".

Goddard I believe attended the Bobcat Classic and Rocky Welton Tournaments that season so he could have met up with a few 321A foes, I'm not sure of that many quality 321A opponents he ever met. At Bobcat, Boaz might have met up with Jason Corwin of Second Lagoon (Silver Lake for forum noobs). Corwin was a pretty salty wrestler who took 3rd twice and was a state runner-up his senior year.

As for Tyler Caldwell making a huge jump which he did when looking at freshman to senior seasons, but it was at pretty even intervals overall. He wrestled 112, 125, 140, and 160.

I would like to note that year Boaz and Tyler spent in Rio Rancho really helped them prepare competitively for their success in Kansas and now at the collegiate level. Having to bang heads with the Ortegas and I believe some of the Adamsons of Bishop Lynch, TX were their too, has got to give you an edge. Didn't they win state titles in New Mexico as 8th graders? So in reality they are 4X Kansas state champions and 1X New Mexico state champions, 5 state titles in all.

That would be impressive. Too bad Paul Harvey is dead or we could get "the rest of the story".

Yeah now we have to listen to the gosh darn Huckabee Report on AM 1070 the Ranch.

Long was 112 his first year winning it.
Posted By: Bill Johnson Re: Question about 4x state champs - 03/07/10 01:51 AM
The Two Div. I All-Americans

Matt Treaster-United States Navel Academy (I think 3rd or 4th place).

And of course

Zac Roberson-Iowa State University National Champ among other AA honors.

I know that the following were NCAA Qualifiers:

Roy Oeser-OU (I think he was a Big 8 Champ)
Todd Layton-Notre Dame
Justin Ware-Neb.
Dusty Spalding-Neb.

Did any of the 4x'ers wrestle each other during their career?

If I remember correctly in 1999 Zach Roberson decisioned Dusty Spaulding at the Newton TOC.

Caylor was almost a four timer and started out like at 189 or something crazy like that as a freshman.

2nd as a freshman - then three titles in a row.

Ironically, Kyle Caylor lost to Karl Oeser, son of former 5X state champion Roy Oeser.

Boaz wasn't at 160 my senior year at the bobcat classic.

And, lost by just one point didn't he? What placinings did Karl take his four years in HS? Wht was Calor's carer HS record? Does he plan on wrestling D-1? Thanks.

I was curious if you meet up your junior year and Boaz's freshman year when you were both at 152.

Long pinned May at Newton and beat Spaulding in a dual.

5th place Matt Treaster - Navy (WBF 2:55) over Marc Sodano - North Carolina State
