I just noticed that if Dustin finishes 6th or 8th this year he will tie 4x AA, Kirk Mamman (6,6,5,8 - '89-'92) for the All-time OSU (maybe NCAA) record for the most losses at the NCAA tournament with 11. At first glance this would seem like a dubious honor but a future/current wrestler could get this total by going 4,6,6,6 in any order which would be a fine career. Hell, I'd be proud of any OSU wrestler who broke the record by going 6,6,6,6. Of course, losses at the NCAA are; 0 for 1st, 1 for 2nd & 3rd, 2 for 4th, 5th, 7th & DNP and 3 for 6th and 8th.
I guess it’s somewhat of a moot point with wrestlers being given a 5th year of which I still don’t understand the why or even the how. Anyway, it looks like Fix will be our first 5x AA and not knowing for sure how a wrestler is eligible, I don’t know if any other OSU wrestlers can compete in a 5th. I guess if Wyatt sheets can/will/does come back for a fifth year and finishes 6 or 8 he will have 11 losses.
