If the question is posed who the best wrestler in the state history is I would still say Melvin Douglas. Larry Owings beat Dan Gable and no one would say that Owings is even in the top 10 wrestlers in NCAA history. In retrospect Douglas even if he did loose is still the best to come out of Kansas as he has won more national titles and competed in more Olympics and World Games than any other wrestler from Kansas. Also you might check it out but Kahyler was not a 4X state champion from Kansas maybe I'm wrong but I don't think he is one of the 16 I believe.
