145: Cas Spangler, Beloit. Spangler also placed all 4 years and is a 2-time State Champ. He had the toughest finals opponent of the 3...Senior Trevor Rempe of Smith Center.

215: Steve Kyler, Ellsworth. Kyler also won State for a 2nd straight year and is the only unbeaten Senior. He had 4 pins in the tournament and defeated a fellow unbeaten wrestler in the finals.

I give the ever-so-slight edge to Spangler after knocking off a wrestler who defeated him twice during the year. Spangler also helped lead Beloit to a runner-up team finish. I don't think you can go wrong with any of my 3 candidates.


Spangler did not place his freshman year he was beaten in the blood round by Weatherhead of Bellville at 119. Here is the link:
