The economic picture remained bright for those Americans with the wisdom and money to invest in the stock market. The Dow Jones Industrial average reached in September, The difference was that the Final Camp was scheduled to immediately follow the Final Trials tournament, rather than having a three-month break between the two. This was an interesting. Perhaps the officials thought the wrestling would be considered as an exhibit worth seeing by the millions of tourists walking through the Fairgrounds.
Actually, that was the same site, the Singer Bowl, where many of the wrestlers competed during the National AAU tournament in June. The top two place winners from the Final Trials in both Freestyle and Greco, plus some invitees, would advance to the three-week Final Camp for training and final wrestleoffs.
The Camp was scheduled to commence at the end of August in Annapolis, Maryland. He got us in great shape and he ended up being one of the best coaches I ever had. He was in charge of seven LSTs Landing Ship Tanks and saved them from annihilation by breaking orders of radio silence. From April through mid-August, wrestlers from across the country competed in 22 Olympic Regional tryout tournaments, all vying for a chance to be one of the 16 wrestlers to represent the US in the Tokyo Olympics in October.
Hicks recalls: I had a little bit of a background in Freestyle wrestling. At the Naval Academy, Coach [Ed] Peery taught us some throws, basic turns from the top position, the rules, etc. I do remember putting Auble on his back briefly with a step-over move, but the ref was too shocked to call the fall. For a couple of months in the summer, I had to attend Navy flight training in Jacksonville but was still itching to wrestle.
Right after my flight training, I drove across the country with my roommate. I entered the tournament in the pound class and remember wrestling Joe Seay to a draw. Anyway, I qualified at pounds and was on my way to the Final Trials that were starting in just ten days in New York. Larry Lauchle, a veteran from the. We started wrestling outside in the Singer Bowl but they had to move the mats under the pavilion due to the heat.
Everyone was pissed. I remember seeing people finally taking the scales out of their carton, hastily assembling them and then weighing in everyone without 30 Wrestlers At The Trials. Ron Finley and Mike Harman, both fighting for a spot at Harman remembers: It was a great adventure going to New York to wrestle but a couple of things really bothered me — the mats were dirty and hot to touch. They never cleaned the mats.
My knees got raw from the dirt and the heat on the mats. Plus, the officials showed up late for the weigh-in and everyone was pretty upset with them to start with. The Teamsters were also upset with me because I was using non-union drivers to deliver the mats to and from the Fairgrounds.
Overall, wrestlers from 28 states qualified through the Regional tournaments to compete at the Singer Bowl. The Freestyle competition was held first — there were bouts contested over a three-day period. The Greco matches were held the following two days.
The Greco-Roman competition primarily consisted of Freestyle wrestlers who were trying to make the Olympic team after being eliminated in Freestyle. Just a few Greco specialists could be found. That group included a set of young twins who were starting their distinguished careers in Greco by entering the Trials at As seniors in , I wrestled at 95, Jim at We then went to St. Ken Cox was our coach at St.
It was his first year there as well as our first year. With no one else in the room we figured it must be us. After our freshman year we started year-round training and began going to some regional Greco tournaments. In those days there was no qualifying tournament in Greco. If you showed up you could wrestle. Both Jim and I were still light and we both entered at We made it to the fourth round, where we met each other. We tied and that was not good. The tie gave both of us enough black marks to knock us out of the tournament.
That was the last time we ever entered a tournament at the same weight class. The youngest competitor in the Freestyle field was year-old Geoff Henson at I did come back to pin some guys and ended up finishing 6th in my weight class, so I was actually quite happy with my effort. My first match was with Jerry Pamp from San Francisco, who beat me in a close contest. I then went on to defeat two college guys — first, Orlando Iacovelli from Ithaca College.
Next, I caught Mike Reding with a couple of my old Indian tricks and beat him. I kept it close in the first period. However, towards the end of the period, Hassman realized that he could crunch me anytime he wanted to — and he did. That was it for me in the competition. I grew up in New Hampton, Iowa in a wrestling family. He did it in So, the whole journey about competing for the Olympics was an important part of my life. However, I received an appointment to the Naval Academy and went there instead.
The head of the Academy knew of my dream and arranged for me to be assigned back to Annapolis where I could train for the Olympics. Huff grew up in Waterloo and was a great high school wrestler there. My next match was with Finley. He was a little older and always one step ahead of me. Going into our match, I only had a couple of black marks and Finley had five. Now Finley was dangerous, particularly on mat tilts.
He had many crazy holds. My strategy was to stay on our feet and attack with single-leg tackles. We danced around a lot. The match ended and I was so happy — I was in 2nd place, for sure. While I may have thought that, it never happened. Douglas was too good. Bobby was the hardest worker on the team and a hell of a competitor. Finley also advanced to the Final Camp by virtue of winning the Greco competition. At the Camp he beat me in the Freestyle wrestleoff. Ron and I wrestled each other many times in our careers and became very good friends afterwards.
To this day we serve together as Board members of the Oregon Hall of Fame. Bobby Douglas was an outstanding athlete, receiving offers to play college football and baseball coming out of high school in Bridgeport, Ohio.
His passion was wrestling and he set his sights and dreams on winning an Olympic gold medal. Douglas recalls those days and his I won That loss made me realing competitions at the Trials. In the Anyway, Simons won liked Harold Nichols, but I really bonded with this battle on points to finish 1st in the weight Myron Roderick. He told me Oklahoma State class.
Dave Auble won the Freestyle I teammate Carmen Molino in the finals. At made the decision to go there, which was a great And, at heavyweight, mer. After KristSweden. I did pretty well even off defeated Raschke to take the though I ended up getting hurt. Greco competition. For the seven days prior first wrestling match. We had five to the Trials, I had no workout dual meets, then the year-end tournaments. I partner. I was in New York, but having a terrible placed 3rd in the districts at heavyweight, then I time finding a place to workout and get down won the sectionals and a week later I made it to to weight.
A couple of wrestlers finally future Oklahoma State star, only placed 3rd. Alabama, etc. Know about your wrestling program? I was well rested, not having wrestled for cally ignored by the wrestling coaches. Nobody a week before the tournament. The coaching staff was pretty strict with us If McCuskey had given me the time of day on my recruiting trip to Iowa, I probably would have gone there. I really wanted to wrestle in college, and that opportunity only existed at a non-big-time program, so I ended up going to Southern Illinois University-Carbondale in the fall of I played football my first two years in college, but then stopped to concentrate on wrestling.
In , I was a year-old college senior and anxious to give the Olympic Trials a try. I was happy to do so and I went to the Trials in New York as part of their team. It was my first trip ever to New York City — the farm-boy meets the Big Apple — and it was big for me. I entered the Trials in both Freestyle and Greco, but was really only interested in winning the Freestyle competition.
I felt confident, although many people were talking about how good Bob Pickens from Wisconsin was and how he was going to beat me. They had to wake me up when the match was announced, so I ran out onto the mat without any warm-up.
I ended up throwing Pickens to his back, pinning him, and then beating Jim Raschke to come away from the tournament in 1st place in the heavyweight division. The man squad assembled at the Academy on Monday, August They were housed in a modern Navy athletic dorm and they ate in the mess halls along with the full student body of midshipmen.
As opposed to , there were few complaints about the conditions and training regime. Linn Long recalls: The Academy was a great place for us. The facilities were A 1 and I loved competing there. My only complaint was that the Navy football team was there for pre-season practice and took up all the pool tables and TV sofas. Gray Simons adds: Annapolis was completely different than the Camp.
Yes, it was hot, but not the killer heat we experienced in Oklahoma. Our dorm was air-conditioned, so we all slept well. We had good workouts and conditioning training. Of course, I was four years older and better able to take the grind. My problem was keeping my weight down over an extended period of time.
I probably should have gone at Andy Fitch remembers a dining hall ritual: We ate our meals with the midshipmen and they made a big fuss over us wrestlers. During the first few evenings some of us would be introduced at dinner and then plebes would come over and carry us all around the dining room to. Photograph courtesy of Amateur Wrestling News. That was fun. Two-a-day practices were held in the old Navy wrestling room in McDonough Hall.
After the first three days of practice, wrestle-offs began — at night in the field house. Wrestlers were permitted to challenge in either Freestyle or Greco regardless of the style in which they qualified. Through a series of single-elimination bouts, a challenger emerged to earn the right to wrestle-off the 1st place man from the Final Trials.
The final challenge matches were the best two-out-of-three. He recalls scrimmaging with Greg Ruth: Every afternoon I would go over to the wrestling room for a workout and would usually end up with Greg Ruth as a partner. He was a terrific wrestler and incredibly flexible for someone.
I remember he used to do pushups with his legs behind his head. But Greg impressed me as a really nice guy. After every practice he would profusely thank me for working out with him. Larry Kristoff recalls his time at the Annapolis Camp: Rex Peery was the head Freestyle coach, but he actually had very little international Freestyle experience. He ran the practices like a college team and would have us work on things like the chicken-wing, which is fine for college wrestling but illegal in Freestyle.
Actually some of the veteran wrestlers like Dan Brand, who I greatly admired, were the ones who taught us various Freestyle techniques.
Fortunately, we never got caught. We wrestled twice and I pinned him both times. He recalls: By , I was caught in between weight classes — too small for and too large for I was selected as a special invitee to the Camp and spent a lot of time concentrating on getting down to I only wrestled one match — losing to Russ Camilleri.
I had to return home right after that since I was teaching school in Oregon and supporting a wife and three kids. A problem the US wrestlers faced was trying to excel in Freestyle, while the people in charge of the AAU kept selecting Olympic coaches without Freestyle experience.
Still, I have some very good memories — especially ones about the progress and development of Gerry Conine, who was from Tacoma and went to Washington State.
He was a taxi-driver and an unknown in Freestyle circles, never having placed in a national tournament. He never missed a workout and kept getting better and better. He surprised everyone but himself and me when he won those Trials in New York. At the Annapolis Camp, he won easily. That Camp was my first encounter with young Rick Sanders and he was memorable. It was not unusual for Rick to eat a full dinner, and then stay in the steam room all night long.
Bobby Douglas talks about the Annapolis environment and Coach Perry: I wrestled very well in my matches in Annapolis — just as good as at the Singer Bowl. The 36 Wrestlers At The Trials.
We had a little time off and I admired the plebes and the whole Academy environment. One day we went out on a cruise — on a destroyer, I think — and I was so impressed with the quality of the men. Coach Bill Farrell would rather have seen Dan Gable on the team at I am still angry about that and though Farrell and I are friends, I still jibe him about that incident.
Coaches Peery and Rockwell also instituted a strict weight-control policy: wrestlers could not be more than eight pounds over their competing weight at any time and had to be within four pounds for wrestle-offs.
For several of the men pulling a lot of weight, this was a big-time hardship. The Wrestle-Offs They wrestled each other dozens, maybe hundreds, of times. They were also fierce competitors and foes. Simons and Lauchle were teammates on the US Olympic team; the other three tried to make that team but lost in the Trials. For , Simons drops down to That leaves the last two, Lauchle and Fitch, to fight it out for the Rex backgrounds and persona.
I improved a lot in my four years there, collar town of Muncy, Pennsylvania — close to especially having the opportunity to constantly Williamsport, out in the middle of nowhere. My self confidence He never thought about going to college until also soared.
He went to the really know a whole lot about that style. For University of Pittsburgh, wrestling for HallAmericans, Greco was tough to learn and it was of-Fame coach Rex Peery, where he won the tougher for us then than it is today. A lot of time NCAAs in at pounds. At the time of was spent on the mat and the Europeans were the Olympic Trials, Lauchle was serving very experienced at that. Once they changed the in the US Marines. I was stationed From there Fitch attended and at Camp Pendleton in California graduated from Yale University, and worked out a lot with Larry winning the prestigious univerHayes.
We had some good was teaching French at Columwrestlers on that team, such as In , Larry Lauchle was bia University. Simons, Ruth and Camilleri. I decided to enter the Trials in New York and fragile, pretty much sick all the time. I had in Freestyle and Greco, knowing that Fitch would inner-ear infections and in the summers I was just be wrestling Greco and Auble just Freestyle. I was in pretty good shape in the Freestyle portion — Auble had defeated When I got to the ninth grade, the high school Molino for 1st place and I had to wrestle Carmen wrestling coach, Stan Schyler, came around the for the runner-up spot.
In our match I got ahead classrooms looking for the smallest kids so he of Carmen, taking him down three times.
Then, could fill out his pound weight class. I signed Carmen hit a foot-sweep and boom, he pins me. Well, it helped me immensely physically go into the Greco Trials. There, I lost to Fitch and I got healthier and stronger. By the time I and drew with Clem Crow, but was awarded 2nd was a sophomore, I qualified for the State Tournd place due to fewer black marks. I won the states my Wrestlers At The Trials Unfortunately, shortly after the start of Camp I got blood poisoning and had to be admitted to the hospital for several days.
I missed the chance to challenge Molino and Auble in Freestyle. I was ready for the Greco matches, though, and came out strong in my first match, beating Molino. However, in the finals against Fitch, I lost. He headlocked me and that was it.
That was some great competition amongst us guys. I still see Carmen a lot. We go together to the NCAAs each year and enjoy our family reunions. A few years ago my daughter married his son. I learned to wrestle from Hill Coach Frank Bissell. Bissell had wrestled for the New York Athletic Club, so some of us started going there for workouts and tournaments. I was three or four years older than Simons and could do alright with him in Freestyle while he was still in college and when we were at the Finals Camp.
However, I wrestled the worst match of my life. He was really the only US Greco wrestler who knew what he was doing, and was virtually unbeatable in the style.
After I substituted for an injured Simons at the Freestyle Worlds in Bulgaria [finishing 6th], we wrestled the Greco championships in Sweden. While not placing, I got some excellent training and experience that year, including a draw with the eventual world champion from Yugoslavia.
Gray even won the National AAUs at Dave Auble, who some thought should have made the team over gold-medal winner Terry McCann in , had a lock on However, I did have my problems with Freestyle Coach Rex Peery, who was looking for a way to get Lauchle, his wrestler from Pitt, on the team. I was an abrasive wise guy and had a mustache — in those days an act of rebellion and a red flag for the Service Academy guys who wave the flag and that stuff.
Anyway, one day we had to get yellow fever shots. At afternoon practice Peery was demonstrating on me and intentionally gave me a hard squeeze where I was really sore from the big needle, which made some of the guys laugh. Thank God for Dean Rockwell, the Greco coach, who stood up for me and came to my rescue after an incident in Los Angeles en. In the finals, after Lauchle had beaten Molino, I had to wrestle him two-out-of-three to make the team.
In the first match we were on our feet and Larry got behind me. He was a strong guy with several effective moves. As he went to suplay me over the top I got an adrenalin rush and countered him by switching my legs, coming chest-to-chest and landing on top of him. That gave me a three or four point lead and I easily won the first match. Well, Larry came out pushing and there was lots of huffing and puffing, and sure enough I received one or two stalling calls.
At one point, right in front of Peery, Lauchle hooked his leg around mine to gain leverage — blatantly illegal in Greco. Finally, as Lauchle leaned hard into me, I threw my favorite move — a headlock — and he went over like a sack of bricks.
Once he realized where he was [on his back], Larry tried reflexively to take me over, but it was too late. I won and felt an enormous relief. I was on my way to the Tokyo Olympics.
One of the top contestants, though, had just two years of junior college experience — Charlie Tribble from San Bernardino, California. I immediately was successful at the sport, losing only once my junior Wrestlers At The Trials Coach Peery was a little difficult. He never complimented me and kept telling me that my moves would never work in real competition.
At one time I thought it might be racist, but he idolized Bobby Douglas, who was in Camp with me, so I guess it was just me. When I came back to school the following year, I again won the state JC championship. I left there with a career record of 54 wins, 0 losses, and 52 pins. To tell you the truth, I never paid a lot of attention early on to wrestling or heavy training.
When I went on active duty I started wrestling Freestyle — at Ft. Lewis, Washington. They had a wrestling team there and I went over to see how you could get on the team. It was my first Freestyle tournament. Ferguson was tough, but I beat him. My only loss was to the 3rd place guy — Steve Combs.
I had beaten him before and since, but not that day. But I was strong and if I got in on a leg, it was mine. But my biggest problem was getting my weight down.
I normally weighed around pounds. It was an ordeal for me to make There were multiple national champs in the weight and I think I wrestled seven of them and beat all of them but Lahr. Pinned most of them, actually. Yet, I was about the only one with no international wrestling experience. At the Annapolis Camp, I wrestled and beat Kauffman and then had to wrestle Lahr, best two-out-of-three. In the first match, I beat him badly.
I wrestled and beat Ferguson again and then pinned Kauffman to win the place on the team. Lahr was the smartest of all the guys I wrestled. One of the problems with using inflexible data is that there may be a few ties.
Such is the case with the 25th-ranked wrestler on this list, but it's good because they are the bar for being reviewed. This whole trio made three teams, won a bronze once each, and finished fifth once as well. Remember how we determined Oklahoma State is U? Well, that legacy goes back even before John Smith. Davis had never wrestled before his freshman year of high school, but that didn't stop him from going and becoming the first four-time champ in the state's history.
Once his college career ended he began wrestling on the senior level, mostly at 62kg. That's where he took fourth at the world championships in Bulgaria and where he made his two Olympic teams.
His medal at the '76 Games in Montreal was, you guessed it, the first Olympic medal in wrestling for someone from Montana. He was heavily involved with Athletes in Action during his competitive and coaching career. We must, of course, note that Gwiazdowski's career is ongoing, so he has the possibility to rocket up this list or remove himself from it entirely should he win a world or Olympic title!
A product of Duanesburg in New York, Gwiz was an All-American as a true freshman for Binghamton in , a feat that was not replicated at heavyweight until Gable Steveson did it last year, the same Steveson he would defeat at Final X: Rutgers to make his third consecutive world team.
The Gwizard of Oz would follow his college coach Pat Popolizio to Raleigh, where he became a two-time national champ for NC State and a three-time finalist for the Wolfpack. After wrestling at the senior level for basically the entirety of his college career, he finally broke through and made his first world team in His bronze medal there helped the United States win its first team title in men's freestyle since , and he followed that up a year later with another bronze in Budapest.
Stephen Abas was the greatest American lightweight of his generation, and one of the best lightweights in all of US history. Abas won a Junior world title before wrestling a match for Fresno State, and then rolled off 95 victories in a row to close out his Bulldog career, making him the greatest pounder since the weights changed though Spencer Lee is challenging him for that title.
He lost in the finals to Mavlet Batirov, an all-time great from Russia who outscored his opponents in Athens. In , he lost in the Olympic trials finals to Henry Cejudo, who would go on to win gold in Beijing.
You might know him as Reece Humphrey's father, but Jim Humphrey was a badass back in the day. The silver medalist made four teams and was a longtime coach at the senior level for Team USA. He was a pivotal figure in USA Wrestling throughout the '70s and '80s, and also spent some time coaching at Indiana.
The Wisconsin native Haines won a national title in for the Badgers after starting his career as a walk-on. But he'd made two teams already by then, including being an Olympian in But it wasn't until after his NCAA title that he hit his stride on the senior level, wrestling for bronze in and being in the world finals the following year. Known as "Junior" during his folkstyle days, Townsend Saunders went California state runner-up to then D2 Cal State Bakersfield before spending his final two college seasons at Arizona State, getting second in and third in He then made six consecutive world or Olympic teams, with his best finish coming in his final year.
He's married to Tricia, one of the greatest women's wrestlers this country has ever produced. Few have benefitted from the creation of the non-Olympic weight of 70kg quite like James Green.
He overcame the tragic death of his father to become an all-time great at Nebraska, a four-time AA for the Huskers who recently made the move to the Southeast RTC. The saga of him making the world team after the delayed wrestle-off with Nick Marable is a crucial start to his story, a senior-level career that has seen him make five straight world teams, a rare feat no matter the era. His silver medal in Paris was instrumental in helping the Stars and Stripes win their first team title since His season showed off what would be a seamless transition to freestyle, as he racked up a national record takedowns.
He would go on to make five teams, winning bronze at the world championships. That was unquestionably his finest year on the senior level, winning the first of three World Cup titles as well as the Tblisi. He was an assistant on the national title team at Arizona State and was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in The most famous person on this list to the general populace, and that's because he did something in his MMA career that he never did in college or internationally: win a title.
In fact, he's on a very short list of guys to hold not one but two belts in the UFC, as he's held both the heavyweight and light heavyweight straps. Before his time-fighting in the octagon, though, Cormier made six straight teams, finally winning bronze in to qualify the weight for the Olympics. Suren Nalbandyan URS. Anatoly Bykov URS.
