There are a lot of colleges & universities with the name Lincoln & furthermore a lot of them at one time had wrestling programs. To make it even more fun to research a lot of the time when you see Lincoln next to a wrestler's name all you see is Lincoln. It doesn't indicate if he means Pennsylvania, Missouri or Illinois or what is now known as Washburn. Nevertheless, Lincoln (Illinois) at one time did have wrestling. Today the Lynx are an NAIA institution but they were NCAA Division II during their time on the mat.
To my knowledge their most successful wrestler was a 177 lbs'er named Frank Burgess who took fifth place at the 1976 NCAA Division II tournament.
