never to win state: Daniel Thueman

by far Daniel thuneman

never to win state: Daniel Thueman

I agree. He was a good wrestler.

Jason Walls- never to win state. Went on to better times though as college all-american and was on a national championship team.

DT!

Daniel Thueneman, i was in aw of him all three years i wrestled with him, he should of won state, 3 times.

Another great wrestler to never win a state title was John Thompson from Sheldon Clark.  John was a two time finalist-

2002 he lost to Scott Cooper from Larue 8-4

2003 he lost to Steve Lovewell from South Oldham 6-3

anthony smith- missed weight as a freshman at districts, sop year his mom made him bump to 112 still made the finals, junior year was the biggest shaft in the history of ky wrestling in the semis, senior year just fell short

Me!!

I finished my career 118 - 12 with 6 of those losses at the state tournament.

Freshman year  : Broke my left arm in last tournament of the season.

Sophomore year: Just wasn't good enough at State, But still won Regionals.

Junior year      : Broke ankle in Regional Finals. Wrestled at state with a broken ankle but couldn't do crap, got destroyed.

Senior year      : Choked and lost two matches by two points.  One to the state winner and the other to the guy who came in third.

This was in Tennessee back when they had a 16 man bracket and only the top four placers got medals.

DT!

Daniel Thueneman, i was in aw of him all three years i wrestled with him, he should of won state, 3 times.

Woulda,coulda,shoulda...

He just couldnt pull off the big one. He was by far one of the most stylish wrestlers. I liked watching him(unless it was him and joe).
