All Decade Teams
One Wrestler Per Weight Class at One Weight they competed at
Choose a wrester for each weight class of that decade. If the decade has more than one set of weight classes, chose a decade team for each sets of weights.
Criteria may include Junior and Cadet Nationals,  High School Nationals and Junior Worlds pre-college etc.
Greatest priority will be to to High School results.
If a wrestler was in multiple weight classes the two, three, four years decisions need to be made where they would fit best.
If a wrestler competed across two decades they may fit in one better than the other or perhaps which ever decade they competed in the most.

There was a thread a couple years back that might have some useful discussion if we can find it.

[Keaton Kluever]

At heavyweight, you've got Keaton Kluever, a two-timer who knocked off a returning champ (Blaze Beltran) to win his first title. (Though I will say it was a pretty quick "2" given out on that last second takedown, to give him the win!)

You've got Cole Johnson from DeSoto, a two-timer in Division 3 (2012 & 2013).

And, you've got Newton Smercheck from L-C, a two-timer from Division 2, over that same two year stretch.

Johnson bested Smerchek in 2012, in the finals of the Bi-State, which helps with that decision. Still, I think you've got to give it to the Division 1 kid, Keaton Kluever.

I don't know I thought it was perfect timing  , and I wish I was around to wrestle those guys especially newton in high school those guys were great competitors!

Although he was not a 3 or 4 timer, Cal Jenson is the best high school wrestler I have ever seen.  2001-04

Marcus Levesseur (B-K, MN) for me. Never seen a HS athlete like that.

Love to get Ben's take on ML. Interesting how their wrestling careers diverted.
