B.B. Branton wrote a great article before the tournament started about Duncan’s quest. Read it here:
T.J. Duncan’s Drive For Five by B.B. Branton at Chattanoogan.com

Duncan completed that quest tonight with a 15-6 win over Baylor’s Spencer Craig. He was selected as the tournament’s Division II Best Wrestler. Congratulations to TJ Duncan on an amazing high school career.

I was looking through the brackets of past NCAA Wrestling Championships, and came across a champion from the University of Tennessee named Chris Edmond. He won the 167 weight class in 1985 for UT. TheMat.com lists Edmond as the only champion from there.

Below is a video of Edmond’s first win in the 1985 tournament. Here are the 1985 NCAA Championship brackets.

When did the University of Tennessee actually discontinue their program?
