Oklahoma State announced Thursday that Cowboy wrestling great Stanley Henson died Wednesday evening.
Henson was 101 years old, which made him the oldest living NCAA champion. He won three national titles as a member of the Oklahoma A&M wrestling team and lost only one match in his career. Henson wrestled under coach Edward C. Gallagher.
“He was a great part of our program’s legacy, and the last living wrestler that I know of that wrestled under Coach Gallagher," OSU coach John Smith said in a statement. "He had great memories of Coach Gallagher and always told me great stories and how highly he thought of him, and that motivated me as a coach.
