Andrew Donofrio was 3 time 2nd place at Beast losing to the 2 time NCAA champ Zach Esposito every single time and was a 4time state champ. Tommy Abbott took 5th at Beast and 2nd at Beast... was 2 time AA Division 2 amd didnt wrestle junior senior year so could have been 3 time National Champ. Um Ryan Wolfe was Beast Champ and AA Division 1. Conor Mcdonald who took 3rd Division 2 was a Beast Champ. Rebertus actually took 2md at Beast losing to NCAA Champ Quentin Wright by only 2 points. But Revertus was also Fargo Freestyle national champ.
I am trying to think of other wrestlers who made Beast finals and were ranked nationally. Bobby Shaw won Beast...actually lost in state finals to Chros Parker the year he won Beast...thats how good DE wrestlinnn was winning beast but losing states.
Cant forget about John Testa 2 time state champ and AA for Clarion.
I dont think Beast was around for Damien Creighton and if it was it was year 1 or 2 of it whennit was small.
Jamelle Jones the 2 time JUCO champ was also a 3 time Beast finalist and 1 time Beast Champ.
Cant forget about Bruce Kelly either who was an animal...not sure how he did at Beast.
Tommy Davis also....3 time state champ. ACC champion for NC State.
Surprisingly more 2 time staye champs had more successful college careers than the 3 or 4 timers. Chris Diaz, Jarrod Garnett, Bobby Telford were all AAs and 2 timers. Abbott was 2 timer. Rebertus was 2 timer. Ryan wolfe was just 1 timer i think and AA in vollege.
I think my rankings would be different if I did one just based off high school performance and opinion and if I did another where I consider College performance.
I jusy know my top 3 wouldnt change though regardless because I yhink Sheldon, Jordan Sianni, and Alex Meade are the best ever to come out of DE in my 25 year involvement.
