Quick turn around

I was just curious of anyone out there having some good stories about wrestlers on your team, you coach or know that have really excelled in a short amount of time. Say they started out as a freshman with a 8-15 record then by senior year are state place winners.

We had an offensive lineman wanting to improve his body control and footwork come out for wrestling as a junior and become the varsity heavyweight, never having wrestled before.  Just with aggression and some balance, he was able to finish something like 14-16 that year.  He continued to learn, figured out a little offense, and went 34-7 his senior year--losing in the ticket round at semi-state with only 2 seasons of wrestling in his life.  Obviously, heavyweight can tend to be different from some weights, but I still always thought it was a cool story.  He went on to have some success as a guard in college.
