I have been looking back and maybe it is just based on recent outcomes at National Tournaments (Sr. Nationals, Fargo, College and so on), but the 3xers list is pretty impressive I would say.

Just some names that won it 'only' 3 times:

Atticus Disney, Danny Grater, Ross Taplin, Jeff Boyle, Cody Garcia, Paulie Hansen, Brett Bahe, Luke Metzler, Tommy Edgmon, Andrew Ubben, Duane Zlatnick, Jordan Bedore, Earl Jones, Frank Jonas, Jason Pyle, Jake Klein Austin Devoe, Doug Hoover, Wes Harding, Eric Koehler, Levi Younkin, Justin Dyer


I am sure I missed more, but does anybody have post high school career stats on these guys? I know some are just getting started, but compared to the 4x Champs we have some great achievements I would think.

Doug Hoover was a 4 timer.

K eliminate him from the 3xer list. Put him with the 4xers.

Wow. How did I miss those 2?! I am thinking the 3timers may have the nod on better post high school accolades.

That list is up through 2001. I don't have the rest with me. I think the 3xers as a whole have something left to prove or so it appears. Only 3 4xers have NCAA D1 AAed.

I know that 2 of the 3Xers from Clay Center (Pfizenmaier, Grater) have 5 AA's to their credit between them in Division II.

Terry from McPherson was also a Div 1 AA for Nebraska.

I had the data for the state championships but all the post high school stuff I listed was off the top of my head. It would be great to have a site that listed all of our wrestler's post high school major accomplishments. Heck just to wrestle beyond HS is a major commitment. If I could I would list every college these guys attended and then do a two timer list as well. Any help like Brandon's would be greatly appreciated. (Where did Pfizenmaier wrestle?)

Brandon wrestled at Kearney, NE

Jake Strait 01-03 Concordia

Don't forget the the 4 or 5 hwts mentioned earlier either.

Randybob was a 4-time AA in college.

Scotty Goodale was a D2 National Champion. Alan Hankins was a D2 Runner-up. Both from Ark City.

Tony Lewis was only a 1 timer but 2008 AA for the University of Nebraska at Omaha...

Scott Coleman was "only" a 3 timer, but he was a high school national champion and All-American at Iowa State.

maybe there's something to the post about 4 time champs, and post high school success.

Joe Renfro
Jon White
Joe Johnston
Shawn Bunch
Jason Soloman?
are a few off the top of my head who arguably had more success in college, with out all the championships in high school.

Cokeley's list is incorrect:
Ankenman was from Norton
Baker was from Goodland

I will plug for bro. Lyle Geyer he was 3x'r 90,91,92. National Champion at senior nationals OW of senior nationals in 92. AA when at southern Colorado

Jason Pyle was a 2X AA at D-III Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. His older brother Matt "only" won it 2X was but was 2X D-III National Champ at Luther as well.
