Dedication, influence, and excellence highlight the life of Nate Carr, the wrestler, and Nate Carr, the man. A champion from a family of champions, Carr's steady focus and anchored life style directed him from noteworthy prep beginnings to outstanding national, international, and coaching careers. Carr's home state of Pennsylvania provided a highly competitive atmosphere for his high school debut. He posted an amazing record of 115 wins and only seven losses and captured a highly regarded state championship. Taking his winning legacy with him to Iowa State University, he claimed three NCAA championships (1981-83) and two Big Eight crowns. Please visit The Wrestling Hall of Fame for the rest of this great Hall Of Famer's biography.
Baumgartner captured his first Olympic Gold medal in Los Angeles in the 1984 Olympic Games, becoming America's first gold medalist in 60 years of super heavyweight wrestling. Four years later he would add a second Olympic medal, winning the silver medal at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea. In 1992 Baumgartner became the first American wrestler to ever medal in three consecutive Olympics when he brought home the gold medal for the second time while competing in Barcelona, Spain. With the bronze medal in 1996, Baumgartner became one of just eight athletes in U.S. Olympic History in ANY sport to medal in four different Olympiads.
