Coach,

That is an amazing story about that KU curator and the random OSU fan. It says so much about on how wrestling is treasured at OSU that a random fan from that school would know KU's only wrestling gold medal winner. It also says a lot about the status of wrestling at KU that a curator has never heard of Peter Mehringer KU wrestling Olympic gold medal winner.

Thanks for sharing it and your other story on our Kansas 1932 Olympic Wrestling Gold Medal winner. You wonder how many more there could have been over the years if KU or KSU had kept their programs.

Also thanks for remembering Jacob and for the opportunity that you have given him and others at the Annual Metro Classic over the years.
