Mason Parris, Sarah Hildebrandt and Kayla Miracle all make the U.S. Olympic team.  Great job gentleman and ladies.   
 

A few other Indiana natives also has a solid showing at the Olympic trials. 

If Hildy gets another Medal: GOAT Status on 🔒.

Does Parris cement himself as the Indiana GOAT if he medals in Paris? Dude is racking up quite the resume comparative to our other legends. Tsirtsis, Angel, Red, Howe, Lee, Mendez, et. al never made an Olympic Squad, just saying.

Right behind Sarah Hilderbrandt.

I have Parris as the GOAT even if he doesn't medal (which would be a huge upset if he doesn't come home with a medal).  

  • 3x state champ, 1 loss in HS
  • NCAA champ, Hodge winner
  • Age group world champ
  • Sr world medalist
  • US Olympian

Sarah Hildebrant is the women's GOAT without a doubt.  But Parris is the overall GOAT at the moment.  And I do suspect that Jesse Mendez's final resume will place him above Parris when its all said and done.

I believe you are correct if Mendez continues tracking on his current path.

 

4X HS State Champ, NCAA Champ as a true sophomore & competed very well on the senior level at the latest Olympic Trials beating McKenna, Green & Diakomihalis then only losing to Retherford 3-2.

 

Very impressive for someone who is only 20 or 21 years old.

He's not a huge medal favorite. He'll come in as the 4th best guy and capable of beating anyone--but if brackets work out with him on the same side as 2 of the Big 3, he has to get an upset to medal.

 

AMENDMENT: I just researched and saw that ranking points should be locked in with Mason and the Big 3 as the 4 seeds. That will mean he can medal without beating one of them and that he's a clear medal favorite. I disagree that a loss would be a "huge" upset because the rise of new, young monsters, along with upsets by savvy vets, are commonplace internationally--but him not medalling would be an upset if the draws hold.

Agree to disagree.

 

Sarah Hildebrandt is the undisputed Indiana women's GOAT.  There are levels to this.  This is akin to calling Caitlyn Clark the basketball GOAT.

And a coach! Katie Kriebel is the assistant coach for the Senior Women's National Wrestling Team. She will be working with the team before the Olympics and in Paris. So proud of all these Forever Hoosiers!

That adds to Indiana’s wrestling Olympians. We’re putting a squad together for Paris.
