Wayne Baughman "Fate"

null

While at the University of Oklahoma, Baughman won an NCAA title, was a three-time All-American and a two-time Big 8 Champion. As an amateur wrestler, Baughman's record is among the best ever. In 25 national championships, he never finished lower than third. He claimed 16 firsts, 7 seconds and 2 third-place finishes. He was a competitor on three U.S. Olympic Teams (1964, 1968 and 1972), eight World Championship teams and a Pan American squad. He is the only wrestler to win national championships in four different wrestling styles (freestyle, Greco-Roman, collegiate and sombo). This is how he began his career as a wrestler.
