Thomas Gilman and Sammy Brooks of the Hawkeye Wrestling Club will be competing at the Continental Cup in Khasavjurt, Russia.  USA Wrestling is sending 17 of our top wrestlers to compete in this world class tournament. Gilman and Brooks will both compete on October 11-12.

Gilman (57kg) won a World Silver at the 2017 World Freestyle Championships and placed fifth at the 2018 World Championships.  He placed second on Team USA for the 2019 World Team. Gilman was an NCAA Finalist and three-time All-American for Iowa in 2015-2017.

Brooks will be competing at 86kg.  In International competition, Brooks won the 2019 Grand Prix de France Henri Deglane in Nice, France.  Brooks represented Team USA at the 2017 U23 World Championships. He was a two-time All-American for the Hawks at 184 lbs. in 2016 and 2017.

I did not find a media outlet that will be covering this tournament on live stream.  I will continue to research and keep you up to date.
