Taft and Wrestling

Hello,

So I have some family members who wrestled in high school and even knew some wrestlers in college. So wrestling currently is and always has been very weight based and even has lead to quite a few eating disorders in boys and men due to it being divided by weight, coaches want wrestlers to be a certain weight etc.

Anyways, what does this have to do with Taft? He was a heavy weight wrestling champion in college. So he wrestled for Yale and what not. To be in that weight class one has to meet certain weight requirements. Part of me wonders if his size/eating habits wasn't sculpted by his love of wrestling. He also wasn't a short man either, he was almost 6ft tall. So it isn't like he was just a real wide man lol, he was just a really big guy.

Fun fact, he was also the provisional governor of Cuba, appointed by Teddy Roosevelt.
