Only four men in history have won four national titles in NCAA wrestling history.

Spencer Lee was thought of as a “lock” to become the fifth. Hadn’t lost a match in 2+ years, was on a crazy 50+ match win streak. Nobody was coming close to beating him in the last few years and he was smoking people left and right.

He beat the pants of this guy earlier in the year. This was only the semifinals and Lee got pinned. This is being considered one of the biggest (if not the single highest) upsets in college wrestling history.

I was watching with my wife last night and she asked: “is this like Michael Phelps losing a swim race?” I looked at her and said: “it’s more like Phelps drowning…”
