Incoming Iowa Wrestling recruits had another successful weekend of competition.  Patrick Kennedy won two matches in a dual meet triangular and Wyatt Henson won a big match in the WPIAL Duals finals. Gabe Christenson and Caleb Rathjen cruised to titles at the CIML Conference Tournament. Cam Lucero was 5-0 with five pins to win the Butch Melton Invite. 

Bretli Reyna competed at Tri County but I do not have results at this time.  Jesse Ybarra, Cullan and Colby Schriever, and Leif Schroeder did not compete this weekend.

The quest for our incoming recruits to be a state champion begins next week when the tournament season begins.
