In the interest of keeping this thread going, anyone know who were the oldest and youngest NCAA champs in recent history?
I'm going with Kyle Dake (19 years, 1 month) and Matt Brown (25), respectively.
Dake was several months younger than Pat Smith and Cael Sanderson when he won as a true freshman (all were age 19). There may be other true freshmen champs who weren't four-timers, and one of them may be younger. But it will be a very short list.
As for oldest, surely some champ was older than 25. I chose Brown because he went on a Mormon mission and that chewed up a couple of years, but I would've guessed he was older as a senior. I didn't look up anyone else.
Fun fact: Kyle Dake and Logan Stieber are the same age (24), but Dake's title streak was 2 years earlier than Stieber's.

Darryl Burley as the youngest??? Won as true freshman; DOB, however, is proving elusive to find. Fun fact: Five career losses -- all to NCAA champs Lewis and Gibbons.
Not exactly recent history, but how old was Lincoln McIlravy when he won as a true frosh? What about schlatter? Cox?
There are four top-10-ranked 141-pounders at Midlands--#2 Jack, #3 Mecate, #4 Ashnault, #10 Racciato. If Grothus made the finals and won, he'd be #2 behind Heil. If he made the finals and lost he'd still likely be ranked top 5.
Personally I'd prefer him not to face any of those top guys yet, as he tends to fare better the first time he wrestles someone. Not sure why. Thoughts?

18 yrs, 18 mos? Is that the same as 17 yrs, 30 mos? Or the same as 19 yrs, 6 mos?
Oops. 18 yrs, 8 mos. Trying to type at work and constantly distracted by actual work.
If it weren't for Kyven Gadsen, Kyle Snyder would have been 19 years 4 months. Instead won Worlds at 19 years 10 months.
When are you folks going to learn to give post-war Cornell College (the REAL Cornell) their props? Lowell Lange was the youngest. I believe Dick Hauser (also from Cornell) was a month or two older than Lincoln and I think the kid from Oklahoma (whose name is lost in a senioritis fog at the moment) was in their somewhere.
Come to the Matman Invitational at Cornell on January 16 and I will give you show you the whole story. I'll be in "Hall of Fame Corner" raising money for the Wrestling for Life Division III Championship ticket effort.

15th at 141...right ahead of Clark at 133. HR board shuts down from overload.
He's coming back next year at 141 after Brody is gone right? He's got eligibility left yet right?
Also when do the VT guys find out if they got their lost year back?
Just trying to do my part to push this thing to 14 pages.
these kind of mistakes can not continue to happen, please focus. Actual work, can be done. in spare time, or during the holidays....People this is wrestling season!!! btw, someone take out their google machine and find out how old Randy Couture was when he won
Well Brody is the best 141 in our room, and we are the best room in the country, so how can it be anything other than #1 if you're the best of the best?
Why does everyone hate him so much he didn't bother me much at all in the last 2 moviesTo all you geeked-up Star Wars nerds:
That tends be the case with all big move wrestlers after the 1st time a guy usually will watch out for those situations But regardless these types of wrestlers are still never out of any match
Couture was never an NCAA champ. However, he was 28 yrs, 9 mos when he was runner-up as a senior in 1992.
To all you geeked-up Star Wars nerds:
Did you hear the one where Jar Jar was actually an undercover Sith Lord?
How old will Kemerer be when they pull his Rshirt and he wins.
Doubtful 18 and 8 months will be topped any time soon. Most top wrestlers these days are pushing 20 by time they graduate from HS.
In case you were wondering, Burley was 19 years 1 month when he won the 134 class in 1979. Don't give a sh$t? I don't blame you. But it was bugging me. The wonders of the Internet. Carry on.
I assume that the infamous 13 page prior Brody thread zigged and zagged though many topics....but can anyone provide a summary of the primary points covered in that one? I'm too lazy to look back for myself.
Really? You want a brief history of a 13 page thread? Everything from certifying to someone seen him eating a buffet at "taste of China", leaving the hospital to walking around weight of 155-180. I am sure I am forgetting about 11 pages.
Don't remember for sure but I think some it was about who was going to win the 149 spot. Brody or Brandon or Cooper. Midlands was going to give a good answer. Same as this year only with different names and different weight (141).
Hey, just to kill another bit of space on this thread, I see that after a mere 1,020 posts I have garnered an impressive 10 "likes." That's good, right?

Wait...What???
You can "like" your own posts?
Cool Gotta get busy...........
OBTW....Jaysdad7 has more "likes" than posts........just saying.
Well, the second rule of the Brody Grothus thread is that "We don't summarize the thread until page 7" but since you asked about the previous thread I recall 1) "My walking around weight is...", 2) projections on his finish, 3) emojis/lots of emojis, 4) there was at least two/three flame wars, 5) somebody asked why he didn't wrestle against Maryland in the faux pbp, which is silly b/c that was before his cut, 6) stories about the King of Cutters, and 7) the eternal question: What is difference between Fredericksburg and Frederika?
