You are correct, sir. As I recall, with a little help from the wise child: Provenzano and Thompson planned to go 119 / 125. Neither could make it.
A few years later, several weeks into the season Stokes Doster cut from 119 to 112 leaving Carson to challenge Leen, unsucessfully.
The following year, Rankin Morgan got hurt, and Lane was brought up. (Not at the beginning of the season).
Lesson learned: the best laid plans are subject to weight issues, injuries, and kids finding that they just can't compete like they thought at a certain weight.
Actually, when Doster cut to 112(after the Bradley Invitational which Baylor won) , Will Carson did in fact BEAT Jordan Leen in a challenge match at 103. Carson was a true 103 pounder(weighed about 100) and had been wrestling at 112 because Baylor did not have a 112 pounder that year.
Leen weighed about 94-95 lbs. and was wrestling 103. However, Carson had already weighed in at 112 for over half of his total matches and was not eligible to wrestle in the state at 103. The coaches used both Carson and Leen at 103 for the rest of the season and they did have one more challenge match and Leen won it 2-0. They only had 2 challenge matches and ended up 1-1. So for all of you trivia fans....Who was the only Baylor wrestler to beat Jordan Leen in a challenge match at Baylor? Answer....Will Carson.

Thank you, matfan, for correcting my grammar and for providing more historical detail. I am also familiar with the story of Constantine as is Coach Henry, I'm sure. We are both Sigma Chi's. The motto and Constantine play a large part in our fraternity.
I am a Sigma Chi too.

It's Latin. It means "In This Sign You Will Conquer."
"In Hoc Signo Vinces"
"in hoc signo vinces": In this sign thou shalt conquer. (The motto is said to have been adopted by Constantine after his vision of a cross in the heavens just before his decisive battle with Maxentius, A.D. 312.)

Colton is Tom's son. Interesting choice in school, and coach.
Not that interesting...
Tom wrestled for Coach Morgan at UTC.

Any results?

Lot of "sour grapes" coming from a school that has more than twice the # of male students that their rival has.

A true gentleman! Congratulations!

Rocky14533.....You are half right and half wrong. Baylor did indeed win the Bradley Invitational that was held on December 17th & 18th, 1999. Baylor had 249 points and runner up Bradley had 206.5 points. Huntsville, AL placed third with 136.5 points and Ringgold,GA placed fourth with 135.5 points.
Baylor and Bradley did NOT wrestle a duel match 3 weeks after the Bradley Invitational of 1999. You need to check your facts before you make statements like "Bradley came back and won the duel meet by a solid score, lots of swing matches from the tournament 3 weeks prior." This is just not true.
