Not a single wrestler on the list. I have already e-mailed the writers expressing my dismay.
I would have placed Tim Krumrie on this list. 2 time all-state LB, averaged 9.6 ypc as FB, and State Champion wrestler at Mondovi.
Hard to argue with their list, all pre 2000 HS kids.
Could have probably grabbed some of the UW Wisconsin guys from the 70's, plus Velasquez,
Hall, Lowney for their Olympics; Was Lowney a FB star?
Krumrie, Biegel would seem to be maybe the best fits that I can recall with the multi-sport with high success in both.
Who do you kick off the list?
What about Chuck Goldsmith , champ in wrestling and went on to become President of the inappropriate term3's Angels
Eric Heiden, Chris Witty. Both speedskaters competing on the international stage while still in HS. Both were multi sport athletes. Heiden competed in the Tour de France while Witty (gold medalist/world record holder in speed skating) also competed in the summer Olympics in cycling taking I think a 4th place.
Dennis Hall has world and Olympic medals around his neck, not to shabby
But, did he have those in HS?
I agree with the Eric Heiden love. Dude was world class on skates and bike as a HS athlete.
