Marinelli and Young are members of the Iowa Wrestling Recruiting Class of 2016 and Lee and Warner were in the Recruiting Class of 2017.
From HawkeyeSports.com:
To be eligible, student-athletes must have a 3.2 grade point average and have won 60 percent of their matches, or maintain a 3.0 GPA while earning All-America honors.
To have 40% of your starting lineup make this team is a great reflection of what Iowa Wrestling is all about.
