I was disheartened to hear any derogatory comments with regard to this topic and the 100/150 win accomplishment.

100 wins in a high school career is great, 150 is almost amazing.

Winning 100 matches usually means you wrestled varsity 4 years and that is a big accomplishment at some schools. My son's freshman year he had to beat a ranked kid who was an upper classman just to make varsity. My son's sophomore year he went up in weight and the ranked kid who was JV the previous year won state. Winning a 100 matches means you scored a lot of points for your team over 4 years and everyone should be proud of you and your efforts.

Yes, the mark is certainly a "moving target" but it is still a great accomplishment. Yes, when I wrestled in the late 70's and early 80's we went to only 3 pre state tournaments, regional, state and had about 8-10 duals per year so you were lucky if you even wrestled a 100 matches in your career, let alone win 100. I finished in the top 6 in state 4 years in a row and ended up with only 85 wins. Yes, there were fewer opportunities to win matches then but there were also fewer opportunities to lose matches and my son's schedule was a lot tougher than mine. Top teams today have some dang tough schedules, I know my son's team certainly does.

My son won't make 150 wins. It looks like he will have about 135 but he has still had a great accomplished career so I am obviously offended by any comment suggesting otherwise. Yes, my son is no Roberson or Mayne. He is no Cokeley, Moeder, Gentzler, Bontz, Seybold or Pursel, but he will end his high school career 3rd on the all time career wins list at his school behind Tyler Caldwell and Mitchell Means and I am dang proud of that and dang proud of him. That is quite an accomplishment, especially at a school with such a great tradition and history of wrestlers.

We should certainly celebrate the accomplishments of anyone that wins 100, 125 or 150 wins. And in the future we can celebrate those that win 175.
