Tee Boone Sets Notre Dame Win Record The Notre Dame wrestling program is celebrating its 70th wrestling season as well as the success of senior captain Tee Boone. Boone claimed the 125-pound championship at the Soddy Daisy tournament this past weekend and his four wins makes him the school??™s all-time win leader at 171-11. His semifinal victory pushed him past previous leader, two-time state champ Jay Adamson (169-14). The ND career top four are Boone (171), Adamson (169), Ian Meredith (157-20) and Billy Hayduk (132-6). He does not plan to wrestle in college, so his mat career will end at the state tournament in February. ???I have been wrestling since kindergarten and I??™ll hang it up after the state,??™??™ Boone said before Thanksgiving. Tough Bracket: Boone won a middle school state title and other familiar names in his bracket were Cody Hood (Ooltewah), Jonathan Taylor (Red Bank) and David Graham (Bradley Central.). 2008 State: At last year??™s state, Graham won the title at 130, Hood was third at 130 and Boone was second at 125. Boone carries his perfect record into Thursday??™s home match with Hixson in a re-match of the 2008 A/AA state duals finals won by the Irish. Hixson had won the region dual crown.

Jordan Leen has the record at 214 wrestlers before the mid 1980s didn't wrestle 40-50 matches in a season so Martin probably had 60-70 wins in 4 years. Phillip Simpson was about 176 (5 years) including high school nationals with 12 losses. ND assistant coach Tim Voiles (5 seasons at Lk Vly) was 202 if memory serves me correctly although only a 9th grader and a long way to go, Zack Watson (73-0 ?? for a career) should top 200 mid way thru senior year Michael Hooker could reach 170-180 in 5 years ... McCallie doesn't wrestle as many matches as does Baylor.
