Iowa's Great Success This Year

Iowa has really had a great season of wrestling. Brent Metcalf at 159 pounds and Mark Perry at 165 pounds each won their weight class. Those two pushed the team to a 38.5 victory margin. This championship is their first as a team in eight years. Brent Metcalf says, “the program is building, and its working toward dominance,” speaking of the current Iowa team. Metcalf will be a junior next year and will play an important role in their success. Metcalf beat Bubba Jenkins of Penn State for the championship at a score of 14-8. He trailed early, but came back for the win.
