People are debating if this will be the greatest achievement in college wrestling (if Dake pulls it off, that's a BIG if, Taylor killed everyone this tournament and only lost to Dake by OT this season), but I am not convinced.  Cael Sanderson went 4 years undefeated, with 4 national titles beating his coach Dan Gable's achievment.  Pat Smith won first to win 4 straight titles I believe, but 4 in a row, in different (heavier) weight class each year is HUGE statement and would be historic.
