Gone, Lost & Forgotten: Their Best = Texas A&M

I can't tell you much about Texas A&M's wrestling program.  All I can tell you is that they had a wrestling program back in the 1950's, they had twelve wrestlers participate in the NCAA wrestling championships.  I can provide you their names, the year and the weight class.

Here they are

Bill Allen 1954 @ 123
Bob Beattle 1954 @ 130
Dick Cappel 1954 @ 137
Rudy Heniun 1954 @ 147
Al Reid 1954 @ 167
Aluaro Ciachar 1956 @ 115
Don Burchard 1956 @ 130
Charles Schoenfield 1956 @ 137
? Hansley 1956 @ 147
Ken Jones 1956 @ 177
John Watson 1956 @ 191
Carlton Hazelwood 1956 @ HWT

I've looked up each one of these names numerous times and I haven't been able to find any information regarding them. I find it sad that in Texas A&M's Hall of Fame that not a single one of these athletes is recognized. I think it's high time the Aggies' Hall of Fame opens up to include some of them.
