Sometimes getting a wild hair can lead you down a rabbit hole. Digging through the wrestling archives behind Mizzou wrestling got me wondering, which weight class holds the title for being the most dominant from the beginning?
(Buckle up, It’s a long one but worth it!)*
Kicking this thing off, we reach all the way back to 1930 when Mizzou Wrestling welcomed Von Robbins, its first-ever NCAA All-American, back to campus. Robbins wrestled in the 175lbs weight class and went 3-2 with 3 wins by a decision, at the NCAA Championships bringing home a third-place medal.
