One thing I was always remember is depending on your school district, 4 year high schools were not as common before the mid 70's. I was in Junior High for 3 years and High School for 3 years!

That is a pretty impressive list Will ... still an outstanding accomplishment!!

Chris Pursel ACCHS?

Any stories out there about guys winning 3 who should have won 4 but got hurt, big upset, bad call, ineligible, etc? See several who won it as freshman but only won 3. I heard there was a guy out there who got 2nd 4 times. Any truth to that?

Wes Harding.. very bad officiating that was as much driven by personal feelings as in bad calls

Will - Can you get a list of most runner up finishes? I think there was a kid from Smith Center who was runner up all for years to the same Beloit kid. I cant remember for sure. With your history ability I figured you could confirm or deny rather quickly.

CONCORDIA
Jonathan Dong - 88, 89, 91
Chris Ngo - 93, 94, 95
Jake Strait - 02, 03, 04
and the previously mentioned Dave Canfield - 85, 86, 88

Reece Wright-Conklin 3x State Champion Lawrence High 2010, 2011, 2012

Biggest one that comes to mind is Beau Tillman of Pratt.
He was a 2X State Champion in the finals his Junior year and came up against 1X State Champion Jeremy Long in his Sophmore season. Tillman was handling Long with relative ease and then out of nowhere (although not entirely unexpected) Long threw a beautiful headlock and pinned Tillman. Beau would go one to win his 3rd in his Senior Year and Long would go on to win 2 more and become a 4X.

I still remember the sound the crowd made when Long threw that headlock.

Levi Younkin - Oakley
Tyler Baker - Hoxie

Also Troy Sporer - Oakley back in the 70's. Pinned himself in the finals his freshman year and took 2nd.

Terry Jones - Oakley also in the 70's. Played basketball his freshman year and won the next 3.

Jake Gentzler from Andover Central won 3, losing in the finals to Ark City's Garrett Jones in a close one his sophomore year. Jake beat Garrett in a finals rematch the next year.

Daniel DeShazer from Wichita Heights followed the same pattern, winning as a freshman, junior and senior, and finishing runnerup as a sophomore.

Preston Weigel from Hays is a junior 2-timer. As a freshman he lost in the finals to Andover Central's Alex Bontz, a 2-timer himself.

Of course Salina South's Javier Vieyra finished runnerup to Andover Central's Zac Gentzler three straight years.

Troy graduated in '81 so 79, 80, 81 SC and that must have happened in '78.

Beloit had four 3xers that failed in different years:

Steve Brown his Fr year. (He may not have been on varsity?)
Greg Heidrick his So year. (I think he was varsity and Brown JV)
Mark Hewitt his Jr year.
Toby Johnson his Jr year.

Only Matt Treaster emerged from the Beloit dynasty as a 4xer.

Earl Jones- THE VILLE-last title in 03???? capping off 3 in a row if im not mistaken.

Danny Grater - 3X Undefeated 4A State Champ (2003, 2004, 2005)

Chris Pursel Atchison County, 2003, 2004,2005

Ross Taplin-Abilene
2003,2004,2005

The Smith Center Wrestler 4X runner-up was Eric Stewart, His son Jacob, is a senior for Bennington(co-op with Minneapolis) this season. I do not believe he lost to the same person all 4 years. (maybe once or twice to 4Xer Matt Treaster??)

Floyd of Osborne won 3. Brandon Pheifer was a 3x runner up. Chris Lampe of St Francis 3x runner up won it as a senior. Derek Jones of Hoxie 2x state champ 2x runner up

Dustin Reed Colby 2011-13
