Iowa Wrestling recruits Spencer Lee, Jacob Warner, and Gavin Teasdale will be competing in very tough tournaments this week. Lee and Teasdale will be competing at the Powerade at Canon-McMillan High School in Canonsburg, PA on December 29-30. Wrestlers from all over the country will be competing where Lee is one of three World champions competing. Lee, from Franklin Regional High School in Murrysville, PA, is the headliner at every every event he competes at. Lee has won three straight World Freestyle titles and will be competing at 126 lbs. Lee is the headliner of the outstanding Iowa Wrestling Recruiting Class of 2017.
Gavin Teasdale, from Jefferson-Morgan, PA will be competing at 120 lbs. Teasdale gave a verbal commitment to become an Iowa Hawkeye on the same day that Spencer Lee committed. Teasdale is just a junior and is the current headliner of the Iowa Wrestling Recruiting Class of 2018. Flo also listed a Teasdale match with nationally fifth ranked Beau Bartlett as the most anticipated match of the Powerade tournament. Barlett, a freshman from Wyoming Seminary, PA, recently won the Ironman. How tough is the Powerade? Wrestling Report voted the Powerade as the toughest tournament in Pennsylvania and the second toughest tournament in the country. I can assume the Ironman was number one. Powerade is that tough of a tournament.
What a great plug for Iowa Wrestling to have Spencer Lee and Gavin Teasdale on the advertisement for this prestigious tournament. For coverage, you can go to www.flowrestling.com and www.trackwrestling.com. Flo will have a live video feed for the action.
Jacob Warner of Washington, IL will be competing at The Clash in Rochester, MN. The Clash is also known as one of the toughest high school wrestling tournaments in country every year. There will be thirty-two teams from eleven states from across the country competing at the Clash on December 30-31 in a dual meet format. Three of the top four teams in the country will be competing. Warner placed third at the Freestyle World Championships in Tbilisi, Georgia in September and is a prized recruit in the Iowa Wrestling Recruiting Class of 2017. Warner is the top ranked wrestler in the country at 195 lbs.
www.trackwrestling.com will have coverage of The Clash. I will also be posting results on my Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/IowaWrestlingFan/ and also on Twitter at https://twitter.com/iawrestlingfan to cover these three future Iowa Hawkeye wrestlers. Be sure and like my page while you are there if you have not already done so.
Lee, Warner, and Teasdale are all ranked number one at their weight in the country by Flo and Intermat and they will all be Iowa Hawkeyes. That is just a great thought about the future of Iowa Wrestling.
Go Hawks!
