Iowa Wrestling recruits are competing in the Greco-Roman Junior National tournament in Fargo, ND.  The Hawkeye recruits are fresh off a great showing in the Freestyle portion of Junior Nationals.  Freestyle national champions Jacob Warner (195 lbs.) from Washington, IL and Anthony Cassioppi (Hwt) from Roscoe, IL are looking to make it a clean sweep by adding a GR national title to their summer.  Warner should be a strong favorite to win the 195 lbs. GR title. Cassioppi, who placed third last year in GR at Hwt, has stiff competition in returning GR Junior national champion Brandon Metz of North Dakota.  Cassioppi defeated Metz 4-1 for the Junior title in Freestyle on Tuesday.

Aaron Costello (Hwt) of Dubuque, Iowa will be a contender for the title.  Costello placed sixth last year in GR at Hwt.  Myles Wilson (182 lbs.) of New Castle, CO will be looking to add to his sixth place finish in Freestyle.

Warner, Wilson, and Costello are a part of the Iowa Wrestling Recruiting Class of 2017 that was ranked number one in the country.  Cassioppi is a member of the Iowa Wrestling Recruiting Class of 2018.
