I saw Gene Mills wrestle when he was at Syracuse. Feet to back pin in 20 seconds.

When I wrestled for the West Side YMCA in NYC, one of my law school colleagues who wrestled with us had been a teammate with Gene Mills. I also saw Gene wrestle in the 1981 Nationals at Jadwin Gym at Princeton. Great wrestler.

Schalles has to be in the conversation.

106 for Wade. I have to guess #2 all-time. This doesn't show up easily on a google search.

Did Schalles wrestle when he only got 3 years of eligibility?

...Wade had 106 falls in his collegiate career..

Schalles. The Greatest.

Wade Schalles
Clarion University

Wade Schalles became just the fifth recipient of the PSAC Award of Merit when he was presented with the award on February 19, 2012. In doing so, he became the second former Clarion wrestler to garner the PSAC's highest honor, joining former Olympic standout Kurt Angle.

Schalles, a native of Hollidaysburg, Pa., wrestled at Clarion from 1971-74 and holds the all-time NCAA record for most pins with 106. He is the only wrestler in NCAA history with at least 100 career pins and he compiled an overall career record of 153-5-1 - a .965 winning percentage.

...Now, that article may or may not be entirely accurate. I loved both Wade and Gene.

But My heroes were Wade Schalles and the Gentle giant Chris Taylor.

Tried to find Mills bio to post and discovered on another web site that listed Mills career pins of 107. Last night I saw 109. Maybe all-star wins were counted on one site.
