Four (Or More) Time State Champions in College = Maine

 In terms of wrestling, Maine is a state that you just don't hear much out of. Nevertheless they've produced quite a few four time state champions & quite a few of them wrestled at the college level. A bit of a challenge to find information, I know I have all of the four timers up to 2018, but might be missing a few past that date. A few college records or lack thereof were difficult to come by as well. More than happy to add any missing information. 

Conrad Turgeon 

Maine's first High School State wrestling championship took place in 1961 & a short time later winning titles in 63', 64', 65' & 66', Conrad Turgeon of Sanford was crowned the state's first four timer. Going straight into the Air Force out of high school, Turgeon did not wrestle collegiately. 

Reggie Monroe 

Another representative of Sanford, Reggie Monroe won four Maine High School State titles from 62'-65'. To my knowledge he did not compete collegiately. 

Mike Caramihalis III 

Sanford produced the third four time state champion out of Maine, Mike Caramihalis who won titles from 77'-80'. He too to my knowledge did not compete in college. 

Matt Lindsay 

A four time Maine High School State champion for Penobscot Valley from 95'-98', Matt Lindsay competed collegiately for Southern Maine. 

Tim Boetsch 

Tim Boetsch won four Maine High School State championships for Camden Rockport from 96'-99'. He wrestled collegiately for Lock Haven. 

Chris Remsen 

Winning four Maine State High School titles for Camden Hills from 01'-04', Chris Remsen competed for both North Carolina State & Arizona State in college. 


Chris Barkac 


Chris Barkac won four Maine High School State championships for Dexter from 02'-05'. Like brother Jeremiah his post-high school history is fuzzy to me, so I'm not sure if he competed at the college level or not. 

Jeremiah Barkac 


Winning four titles for Dexter from 04'-07', I do remember that Jeremiah Barkac was slated at one time to compete for Dana. Then I heard that he actually ended up at NIACC (North Iowa Area Community College).  I know he competes MMA now, but am not sure on the validity of his college background. 

Jon Hussey 


There's the Jon Hussey who won Maine High School State titles for Marshwood from 05'-08' & there's a Jon Hussey who currently competes in the World Wrestling Entertainment. They're both from Maine. Are they the same person? 

Jerod Rideout 


Winning four Maine High School State titles for Foxcroft from 05'-08', to my knowledge Jerod Rideout did not wrestle collegiately. 

Chris Smith 

Chris Smith who won four Maine State High School titles from 05'-08' for Deering, competed collegiately for Northern Illinois. 

Joey Eon 

Representing Massabesic, Joey Eon won four Maine High School State titles from 06'-09'.  He competed collegiately for Norwich. 

Travis Spencer 

A four time Maine High School State champion from 06'-09' for Belfast, Travis Spencer wrestled for Southern Maine in college. 

Matt DelGallo 

Representing Gardiner, Matt DelGallo won four Maine State titles from 07'-10'.  Collegiately he competed for Messiah. 




Forrest Cornell  


Forrest Cornell won four Maine High School State titles for Lisbon from 08'-11'.  From what I have found he did not wrestle in college. 

Tyler Davidson 

A four time Maine High School State champ for Marshwood from 10'-13', Tyler Davidson competed collegiately for Navy. 

Jackson Howarth 

Winning four Maine High School State titles for Marshwood from 12'-15', to my knowledge Jackson Howarth did not wrestle in college. 

Cody Hughes 

Cody Hughes won Four Maine High School State titles for Marshwood from 12'-15'.  In college he wrestled for the Virginia Tech Hokies where in his senior season of 2020, he was an NCAA qualifier with a 4th place finish at the ACC tournament. 

Peter DelGallo 

A four time Maine High School State champion for Gardiner from 13'-16', Peter DelGallo had an outstanding career for Southern Maine. Along with capturing 3rd place NCAA Division III All American honors, he was also a thee time Regional Runner-up. 

Griffin Smith 

A four time Main High School State champ from 13'-16' for Dirigo, Griffin Smith's life was tragically cut short shortly after graduating high school. 

Danny Buteau 

A four time Maine High School State champion for Oak Hill from 14'-17', Danny Buteau competed in the NCWA for Husson where he won an NCWA title in 2019 (He may have accomplished more in 20', 21' or 22', but I'm having trouble finding these NCWA results) 

Cody Craig 

Cody Craig who won four Maine High School State titles from 14'-17' for Skowhegan to my knowledge did not wrestle in college.
