rdrodd1 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Definitely Goldman, considering he went from just being a semi state qualifier last year to being a state champ this year in a wieght class with 2 top 10 nationally ranked guys. That's just nuts! I got to see him wrestle a lot last year and I was never very impressed. In fact because of that I really doubted he would even place this year. I don't know what he did in the off season but man it helped for sure. It will be very interesting to see how he does at IU. Congratz Garret!!! I have to agree with you here... Goldman impressed everyone this year also... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrestlerBlack77 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Harvey Culver regionals to a title I think gaining 40 pounds of mostly muscle helped him more than anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1oldwrestler Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Kody George from Homestead High School deserves a mention. Went from a regional qualifier at 112 as a sophomore to a sectional champ, regional champ, state qualifier and one overtime takedown away from the podium at 119 this year. Really hardworking kid with a huge heart. I agree with most that Goldman was most improved in the state though. Semi-state qualifier to state champ over two nationally ranked kids is impressive.

Goldman did a great job in the finals, Stevenson wrestled a bad match and looked worn out. Congrats again to Garrett, but its not like he was a bad wrestler before, his weight class last year at semi state was STACKED and he just got a bad draw in the ticket round. Also remember he wrestled in the opposite bracket of Sliga/Stevenson so its not like he went through both of them. BUT he IS the Champ. Congrats.
