Mizzou’s National Champions1923-1937 :: 1959-2016

Ben Askren - 2006 - 174 poundsBen Askren defeated No. 2 Jake Herbert (Northwestern) by major decision, 14-2, to claim the first individual national title in the history of the Missouri wrestling program at the NCAA Wrestling Championships in Oklahoma City, Okla. on March 18, 2006 For his efforts, Askren was awarded the 2006 NWCA Most Outstanding Wrestler award for the tournament, leading Missouri to a 15th-place finish with a school-record 45.0 points. Askren’s victory clinched a 45-0 season, the only undefeated season in the history of the Missouri wrestling program. Askren also set season records for falls (25), consecutive wins (45) and the record for most career falls at Missouri (61). Askren became the first recepient of the Dan Hodge Award in program history following the season, an award equivilant to the Heisman Award and given to the best wrestler in the NCAA for that season.

Ben Askren - 2007 - 174 poundsOn the heels of seniors Ben Askren and Matt Pell, the Mizzou wrestling team earned its highest team finish ever at the 2007 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships when they took third place on March 17, 2007 at Auburn Hills, Mich. The Tigers finished with 80 points, giving the University of Missouri its first NCAA team trophy since 1965, when the Indoor Track & Field team took home the title. Askren topped Keith Gavin (Pittsburgh) for the third time to earn his second national championship. With the win, Askren became the Tigers’ only back-to-back national champion in wrestling and first for the University of Missouri overall since track star Derrick Peterson in 1998-99. Askren never finished lower than second in the nation. He finished his career with an 87-match winning streak, and goes 42-0 on the season. Askren pinned three opponents during the tournament and earned a technical fall in his pigtail match, and did not lose a match since the championship match in his sophomore season. Askren was awarded the Dan Hodge awarded for the second consecutive season following the perfect campaign.

Mark Ellis - 2009 - HWTMizzou crowned its second-ever wrestling National Champion upon the completion of junior heavyweight Mark Ellis’ 3-2 overtime victory over fifth-ranked Konrad Dudziak of Duke on March 21, 2009 in St. Louis, Mo. Ellis managed a reversal with 10 seconds remaining in the second 30-second overtime period to capture his first career All-American honor and national title. Ellis and Dudziak were scoreless in the first period, although the Duke Blue Devil was hit with stalling early in the bout. Ellis chose down to start the second and escaped in 1:05, while Dudziak opted to start down in the third and escaped in 20 seconds. The two heavyweights pushed through the one minute sudden victory period and scrambled on the edge of the mat for the first 30 second tie breaker. The second 30 second period in which Ellis chose down proved the difference in the match and marked Ellis’ third win of the season in overtime.

Max Askren - 2010 - 184 poundsMizzou crowned its third wrestling National Champion after senior 184-pounder Max Askren’s 10-3 victory over top-seeded Kirk Smith of Boise State on March 20, 2010 in Omaha, Neb. Askren started the match out strong racking up seven points in the first period to counter Smith’s sole escape. With a 7-1 lead, the Hartland, Wis. Native began the second period in the down position, earning a point for an escape. Smith made a run at Askren, picking up a takedown to begin the third period, with Askren escaping again at the :30 mark. With a point for riding time, Askren won the match by decision, 10-3, and became Mizzou’s first National Champion at 184 pounds. After going 20-2 for the season, Askren finished his career with a record of 104-16 and stands at 18th on Missouri’s top career victories list.

Cox became the youngest wrestler in program history to capture an NCAA title and 14th true freshman to capture a title in NCAA history. The Mizzou champion’s .950 winning percentage (38-2) in 2013-14 is the best mark posted by a freshman in program history, surpassing Ben Askren’s 32-5 freshman campaign.

Drake Houdashelt - 2015 - 149 poundsDrake Houdashelt tallied a thrilling 3-1 SV-1 decision victory over No. 3 David Habat (Edinboro) on March 21, 2015 at Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Mo, becoming the fifth individual and sixth overall National Champion in program history. The O’Fallon, Mo. native outscored his five opponents 30-3 at the 2015 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships. Two of those wins came by major decision shutouts, while the other three victories came by decision. The final resume for Houdashelt at Mizzou is one for the records books. He leaves a four-time conference champion (2012 Big 12, 2013-2014-2015 Mid-American Conference), making him the only individual in Mizzou wrestling history to accomplish that feat. Further personal accolades include ending his career with 134 wins, putting him at third place in the Mizzou wrestling all-time wins list. He also leaves Columbia, Mo. with a .854 career winning percentage (sixth-place), and 39 career major decisions which is the most in Tiger wrestling history.

Cox became the fourth three-time All-American in school history, following Ben Askren (2004-07), Max Askren (2008-10), and Drake Houdashelt (2013-15).

Of Cox’s 28 victories, he scored 19 bonus point victories with six falls, six technical falls, and seven major-decisions. For his career, Cox finishes with the best winning percentage among any wrestler with over 100 wins (96.4 percent, 136-5), tied for second-most wins with Alan Waters (136), second in technical falls (20), third in major decisions (31) and tied for eighth in falls (27).

A charter member of the Missouri Wrestling Hall of Fame, Hap Whitney coached the Tigers from 1964-74, managing an 88-55-3 record. The St. Louis native became the first wrestler in Missouri high school history to win four state wrestling championships. Whitney went to Purdue University, winning a Big Ten Conference title in 1956, later placing third at the NCAA Championships. An alternate to the 1956 U.S. Olympic team, his MU squads accomplished a number of notable firsts: the first to place in the Big Eight Championships (1966), the first finalist at the Big Eight Championships (Steve Cavanaugh, 1967), the first and only undefeated season (1967-68) and the first nationally ranked team (1968). After his tenure as wrestling coach, Whitney became assistant athletic director at Missouri, serving until 1981, when he became director of physical education and athletics for Columbia Public Schools. In 1993, he was the Missouri Athletic Director of the Year and the Kiwanis Club’s choice for Columbia Sports Person of the Year. Ed Lampitt became the first Tiger to place at the Big Eight Conference Tournament doing so in 1966, (finishing second in 1968). Lampitt captained the only undefeated wrestling team at MU in 1968, and set school records that stood for many years. Graduating with honors in civil engineering, Lampitt became a dentist in 1977, later suffering from a debilitating brain tumor. Two surgeries rendered him unable to speak and totally paralyzed. Through rehabilitation, he recovered but is still paralyzed on one side of his body. Lampitt returned to private practice after learning to perform his duties with one hand. On June 7, 2003, Lampitt received the Wrestling Medal of Courage for overcoming seemingly insurmountable challenges. He resides in Piedmont, Mo., where he has become a private pilot, taken up golf and snow skiing and is a dynamic motivational speaker. The cardio equipment in the wrestling room is named for him.

A Missouri standout, 2006 inductee Wes Roper was both a student-athlete and head coach with the Tiger wrestling program. Competing at 150 pounds, the three-time co-captain earned Missouri’s sixth All-America honor at the 1982 NCAA Championships after finishing fourth in his class. The winningest wrestler in Missouri history for 25 years, Roper now stands second in the Missouri 100-win club with 131 victories collected throughout his career. Between 1978 and 1982, the William Chrisman High School graduate was 131-37 and set a new high for most points in a career (461) and most victories by a junior (40). Both records stood for 25 years and were broken in 2006 by NCAA Champion Ben Askren (174). Roper began his 12-year Missouri coaching career in 1986 and finished with a 73-94-4 record that included eight All-Americans, two Big Eight Champions (with

Shaon Fry earning honors in both 1993 and 1994), and five Academic All-Americans. Roper now lives in Kirksville, Mo., and serves as an investment broker.

An NCAA champion wrestler at the University of Maryland (1965), Bob Kopnisky came to Missouri as head coach in 1974, and led the Tigers to national prominence. From 1974 to 1986, Kopnisky amassed a wrestling record of 125-72-3. During his 12 years at Mizzou, his teams placed nine times at the NCAA Championships. Kopnisky’s 1984 squad finished 10th at the NCAA meet, representing MU’s best finish at the time. Prior to his arrival, MU had never had an All-American wrestler, but Kopnisky coached 11, including MU’s first-ever Big Eight Conference Champion, John Sonderegger (1984). Currently, Kopnisky resides in Carmel, Ind. His son, John, was a standout on the Missouri wrestling team from 1999-2002. Bob is currently a teacher and wrestling coach in Carmel, Ind.

Bob KopniskyClass of 2000

The first wrestler to earn a letter at the University of Missouri, Guy Sappington was also the first Tiger to win a conference championship when he took the 135-pound title at the Missouri Valley Conference meet in 1928. Sappington later won a Big Six Conference crown at 145-pounds in 1932. In 1933, prior to the institution of the NCAA wrestling championships, he won the national Amature Athletic Union (AAU) title at 145 pounds. Sappington was the first recipient of the Schutte Award, donated by a Kansas City lumberman and wrestling enthusiast, in honor of Missouri’s Most Valuable Wrestler in 1932. Sappington passed away Jan. 20, 1994, in Fresno, Calif.

Mizzou’s Hall of FameThe University of Missouri Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame was made possible by the 1989 bequest of $100,000 from the estate of the late A.C. (Ace) and Mary Stotler. Located just off the main entrance of Mizzou Arena, there are 155 individuals and two teams in the Hall of Fame, including seven former members of the MU wrestling program. The first class was enshrined in 1990. Former Wrestling Head Coach John Kopnisky pictured below. Two-time National Champion Ben Askren is the most recent inductee, getting recognized in 2012.

Fry had a career record of 127-36, tying for the third most wins in MU history. As a senior, he went 38-3. Fry was a three-time Academic All-Big Eight and two-time Academic All-American selection. With a 3.80 cumulative grade-point average, Fry graduated with honors from MU’s physical therapy department. Fry is now the site coordinator for Peak Performance in Jefferson City and his wife Shannon, a former MU Golden Girl, now coaches the Golden Girls for the athletic department.

Shaon FryClass of 1999

Arguably the most dominant athlete to ever compete in an inpidual sport in Mizzou history, as he owned his weight class on a national basis for his last two seasons. He went a combined 87-0 in his junior and senior seasons (42-0 and 45-0, respectively) and won NCAA Championships at 174 pounds in 2006 and 2007 after finishing as NCAA runner up in his first two years (2004-05). Askren finished his career with a sterling 153-8 record, and is the winningest and most decorated wrestler in MU history. He was also a three-time Big 12 champion, and became Mizzou’s first-ever four-time All-American. In 2006 and 2007, Askren won the Dan Hodge Trophy - given to the nation’s top wrestler - becoming just the second wrestler in NCAA history to win the award twice . Ended his MU career holding numerous records, including 91 falls (44 more than the

old record), and 15 technical falls, among many others. Also a top-notch student who was a four-time NWCA Academic All-American, as well as a four-time first-team Academic All-Big 12 selection. He became the first Tiger wrestler to qualify for the Olympics (Beijing, 2008), and he served for two years as a volunteer assistant on the Mizzou staff before beginning a career in Mixed Martial Arts fighting, where he quickly ascended to the Bellator Welterweight Championship with a 9-0 record.
