Can someone enlighten me on the 100th win Celebration. I'm somewhat new to all the milestones in Wrestling. My son reached his 100th win and we forgot to celebrate. For him, it's all about winning the State Title in his weight class and school division. Without the State Championship, he feels, his work would have been in vein.

Please educate me on the 100th win thing.

There are a lot of wrestlers that have aspirations of standing on the top of the podium at State, but many of them won't get there. There is no shame in wrestling the best you can and still not achieving this goal. As for the 100 win mark, I do believe that is something to be proud of. Although wrestlers today get a lot more matches than we used to, it is still a crowning achievement. I don't have the statistics, but my guess is that less than fifteen or twenty percent of wrestlers in high school (I am talking Kansas) reach that mark today after a high school career. If you finish top fifteen to twenty percent in your high school class for grades after four years, that is an accomplishment, and there are a lot fewer students you are competing against in your graduating class than there are that wrestle high school in the state of Kansas.

Back to then versus now, I believe that Matt Treaster from Beloit finished 125-2 with four State Championships while he was in high school. Now that is an awesome achievement. It still doesn't negate the accomplishment of wrestlers today that get 100+ wins and never win a State Championship.

Really...I guess you are right, if a kid is not good enough to win state they just quit now and maybe work on their marching band skills. I hope if your kid does not win state he will not be ashamed of the money he has cost you pursuing his goal. And, it's not really a celebration for the kid, its just proud parents, choaches and fans making a statement. And, as Coach Mock has been an important part of Jared's summers it nice to hear from him.

Thanks for that information. I never thought of it that way. I think I owe my son an appology for not recognizing his accomplishment. It just never accurd to me until I read some of you guys comments on this site.

Thanks for the enlightenment. I need to step my game up

Mr. Johnson my inquiry was not to offend! My son had never really mention anything about his 100 win. He is only focus on one thing. I do hope that he understands that without it, he has had a fantastic career and will continue that career on the next level. I just think it was overlook and I wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing something, which it appears that I was.

Congrates to all who have achieve this accomplishment, my son included!

Brent Juenemann of Oberlin also got his 100th win on January 28th at the Western Kansas Tournament of Champions. What an accomplishment for all wrestlers!!

My mistake. I think the 100 win thing is more about us (parents) then the kids. My son wouldn't have known if I hadn't told him, you should see his math grades, you would know that is true. But, my son's freshman year a father from Perry put a good post about his son's 100th win that I still remember. There is something about a kid just doing his best and accomplishing all he can that a 100 wins represents.
