CoachM,

 

Of the listed HWTs Frank McGrone Of Indianapolis Wood was the toughest.

Not so much on techniques, but a true brawn wrestler.

You could run for a long time but when you tied up you were toast.

Y2,

 

Yes. I am working on it right now. It will include more text and as many pictures as available.

It will include the Grandfather/Grandson combo from Garrett.

 

My  problem  being if I try to  publish the book as is (+1000 pages it  is not a single volume publication).

I'll admit to being extremely partial, but I think Andy Schneider was the toughest heavyweight there.  In a two-year span when heavyweight had several tough WRESTLERS (Hummel, Hedges, Pierce, Primozic, and others), Andy stood above the rest.  His quickness and balance allowed him to wrestle like a middle weight while also being one of the strongest individuals I've ever known.  He is also one of the nicest people you could ever meet.  But step into that circle, and you better be counting all of your limbs when you leave.

I would assume you aren't talking about wrestling. I do believe that a gal by the name of Alex Banafich from The Culver Academies won that many, if not more, for cross country and track & field.

If we're going with any sport, then I've got one better than you, Andy.

Emily Ayers of Carmel won 14 individual and 4 team state titles in swimming ('92-'96)(*girls swimming was a fall sport in '92 and a winter sport in '96)
