Incoming Iowa Wrestling recruit Anthony Cassioppi competed in the 2018 Illinois Freestyle Club Cup in Downers Grove.  Competing for ISI (Iron Sharpens Iron), Cassioppi recorded three tech falls, a fall, and received a forfeit. ISI placed 11th in the 16-team tournament.

I will continue to follow Cassioppi in competition all the way through Fargo in July where he is the defending Hwt Junior Nationals champion in both Freestyle and Greco-Roman.

Cassioppi, from Hononegah High School (Roscoe, IL), is ranked #4 at Hwt by Intermat.  Cassioppi is joined by Nelson Brands of Iowa City, IA (West HS) and Joe Kelly of West Liberty, IA in the Iowa Wrestling Recruiting Class of 2018.
