Badger NCAA Champions

[leg turk]

So, Howe was our last NCAA Champion in 2010, correct?  Who was the last Badger Champion before that?

Anybody have a link to all past champions?

I see Barry Davis started as interim head coach in 93-94 season, so that means he has had 3 different wrestlers win a NCAA Championship.  One could argue he would've only had 2 different guys win it if Pritz wasn't at the U.W coaching, Howe probably would not have came here, but I don't know that for sure, just speculation...

I'm not even going to look up how many Champs Smith has coached at O.K State, that would probably be ugly to find out.

Instead of a simple google search you had to start a topic only to reply as a shot at the coach. Things must be pretty slow and boring over on your end.

Sorry I offended your coach, I just thought he produced a few more champs over the years, I was a little curious is all.

Google search shows that OK State has won 27 individual titles since 1994.

Where did the Badgers finish as a team in 1976 when they had 3 champs?

Askren, Conrad and Dieringer have almost twice as many as the UW team in the last 20+ years

Throw in Max Askren's 1 and Tim Hartung's 2 and you have over half.

here I thought when I saw the title it was going to be Zeke Jordan will be the UW next ncaa champion and will CM join him but I should have known it was going to be more hatin' on coach Davis.

He sure has paid the price to become a champ. I'd be hootin' and hollerin'.

I had no idea that Badgers had a NCAA champion back in 1889 when Lee won the title.   
If you think about it, not many years after the civil war or the battles with the Indians ended.

That was really unfair, though; Lee got to use his sabre.
