Gone, Lost & Forgotten: Their Best = Capital

Within the hotbed of high school wrestling in Columbus, Ohio,  Capital University is located in the suburb of Bexley.  The Crusaders had a wrestling program up through the 1998-1999 season.  


Randall Fee
118 lbs 

Fee finished in eighth place at the 1982 NCAA Division III championships



Brandon Newill
125 lbs 

Newill had a very strong freshman campaign for the Crusaders taking seventh place All American honors at the NCAA Division III championships.  Forced to find a new home after Capital discontinued their wrestling program, he found himself at Pittsburgh-Johnstown now competing at the NCAA Division II level.  As a sophomore in 2000 he finished in third place, taking fourth place honors as a sophomore in 2001.   He capped off his career by having his 100th victory in the NCAA Division II finals.  

After a short stint as assistant coach at Buffalo, he took over the Kittanning Armstrong High school program while also teaching history.
