@LeeSpencerlee36 Having trouble finding the bracket but wow this is cool! 9 NCAA medals including 🥇🥇🥇🥇 (and counting!) among @zaintrainusa , @Kem_Daughg65 , and @toicruz23 . Couple other D1 guys here in Everett (NCAA qualifier for @ArmyWP_Wres) and Wheeling. Thanks champ!

[Classic Wrestling Brackets @ClassicBrackets]

Wow! How many youth brackets have 4 NCAA titles (and counting!) plus a few national qualifiers?

@RealGarrettCarr @Cauli_Friend That’s the really unique thing about the brackets above. There are brackets out there with more than 4 champs that still don’t have all-champ semis, whether by upset, one champ was a freshman at the time (this is more in older brackets when freshman champs were less common), etc.

[Classic Wrestling Brackets @ClassicBrackets]

@Cauli_Friend Nope. This bracket with 6 champs (I previously had it at 7 but was corrected in the replies) was submitted to me a while ago, but not even that one had 4 champs in the semis. https://t.co/PW5wCmH19M

@jasonmbryant One of these days I’m gonna have to see what I can find in past D3 brackets. There’s been a few Senior level guys over the years and some MMA fighters too.

@ClassicBrackets @pennstateWREST @caelsanderson @CycloneWR @dc_mma @CowboyWrestling We got an attorney in Jessman Smith.

Tom Grossman, isn't he like the second ever wrestler from Texas in the NCAA tournament? Someone help me out here.

@StonebrakerS @pennstateWREST @caelsanderson @CycloneWR @dc_mma @CowboyWrestling Those are some cool ones! Thanks for pointing them out! NCAA champ Josh Glenn from American, who was in one of the brackets I tweeted recently, is also a SEAL.
