Was telling someone about how Mark Hall took 2nd in Ky before he went on to win 6 state championships. That got me thinking, is he the only hs wrestler to be a 7x placer ? 7x finalist? Ive dont some googling, but cant find anything.

Wrestling trivia question
Topic ID: 15582 | 8 Posts
Mentioned that to a friend from Florida and he said it can happen in Florida since they allow 6th graders to wrestle varsity. Not sure if any ever made the finals
Not sure about the 7 time finalist. But how about this trivia question:
What NCAA D1 Basketball coach was the head coach of a high school state champion wrestling team?
I have mentioned this before a while ago when doing research on team state titles of all states.
Hint: The state title was pre-World War II.
He won a wrestling state championship as a coach in Iowa in 1926. I was flabergasted when I saw this and had to make sure it was THE Adolph Rupp and it was.

Heck Hall had a close match in the semis if I remember. His time in KY wasn't a cake walk. But he was so young then.
