Who ranks all time? Only criteria is it has to be the weight they competed in their senior year.

I'll start it off with Mark Hewitt, 132lb, Beloit..

125lbs Zach Roberson, Blue Valley NW

... and that list leaves out some notable Kansans! Eric Akin, Ross Taplin, Cody Garcia, Melvin Douglas, Kirk Baker, Boyle from Norton, the lighter weight from Immac!

There are so, so many!!

It doesn't seem right to leave out any of those National SR champs... Napier, Coleman, etc...

Justin Dyer -- didn't he win like three titles and at the heavier weights? 189, 215? That dude dominated.

... and Cornejo, Rechtfertig, Temoer Terry ...

I guess we need a definition of "Old School!"

Here is a preliminary All-Kansas All-Time Team. I tried to go as old school as I could including one wrestler from the Great Depression. These are some of the best wrestlers Kansas has offered up and I'm sure I can add more. These were just the top guys who I know should be on the roster based on performance. I also moved some guys around in weight because they didn’t have that weight class when they were seniors or because they had wrestled there previously. Have fun dissecting it:

103
Doug Duell-Goodland-1975
(5x State Champion)

112
Eric Akin-Bishop Miege High School-1989
(3x State Champion, 4x NCAA All-American, US World Team member)

125
Zach Roberson-Blue Valley Northwest-1999
(4x State Champion, NCAA Champion)

130
Myron Roderick-Winfield-1952
(2x State Champion, 3x NCAA Champion, Olympian, Head Coach at Oklahoma State winning 7 team championships)

160
Roy Oeser-Kapuan Mount Carmel-1977
(5x State Champion, Head Coach of Maize)

171
Melvin Douglass-Topeka Highland Park-1981
(3x State Champion, 2x NCAA Champion, 2x Olympian)

215
Pete Mehringer-Kinsley-1930
(2x State Champion, University of Kansas Wrestler and Football player, NCAA Runner-up, Olympic Champion, Pro Football Player)

Heavyweight
Jeff Boyle-Norton-1997
(3x State Champion, #1 275 in Nation in 1997, Wrestled in the Dapper Dan Classic, and NFL Football Player)

I would throw in the Colby boys of Matt Murray and Eric Luedke

I would have to put Bo Maynes at 125, 130-0 and never taken down!! I would love to have seen Bo and Zach go at it. They are two of the very best from the great state Kansas!!

Yeah, big props to Bo. Roberson was a Junior Nationals (Fargo) and DI champ.

Alright, here is the revise from the beginning. I tried to include as many wrestlers from as far back as I could. It is pretty hard to keep up on the performance of wrestlers prior to the mid-1990s. This would be one tough team to matchup with, but states like Iowa and Oklahoma could match it thanks to having 2 major DI programs for their top wrestlers to attend. Just an added note one wrestler actually wrestled at the University of Kansas while 7 of the wrestlers attended Iowa and Oklahoma institutions.

Definitely a great list, but not exactly all "old school". An old school team should include State Champion and National Greco Champion Joe Seay of Wellington. Seay is also the only coach in history to win titles in NCAA DII and DI and was an Olympic Coach. The list should also include 3x state champion David Ray of Goddard/Carroll. Ray was a freestyle and greco champ and a 2x NCAA DI AA. Also was a highly decorated college coach. They would both be on my all-time list, "old school" or not.

David Ray was a bad dude!!!!!

That he was!

Good list Ricky!

Okay, I've been beating myself up for days. Who was the lighter weight guy, from Immac I think, who was also one bad dude!

He wrestled some in college and was active in the freestyle scene for a while!

Chris Bollin

Thanks Mike ... that's the guy!!
