2003 in KC if memory serves me right. True freshman Teyon Ware won a National Title and has exited the mat when a couple of cool Okie State fans jumped up and started singing "shoulda been a cowboy-shoulda learned to rodeo" to him while clapping at the same time.

Teyon had epic battles with our guy (Nate Gallick) several times. Gallick had unreal head and hands defense and I believe beat Teyon the final three times they met. Teyon had bested him before that on several occasions. Great low scoring matches. Probably very boring to anyone not heavily vested in either wrestler or team. Edge of the seat exciting for me.
