Incoming Iowa Wrestling recruit Nate Jesuroga won the 120 lbs. title at Super 32 in Greensboro, North Carolina over the weekend. This is considered the toughest folkstyle high school tournament in the country. Jesuroga defeated Aden Valencia of California 3-2 in the finals and finished with an 8-0 record for the weekend.
Jesuroga is the third wrestler from Iowa to ever win a title at Super 32 joining future Iowa Wrestling teammates Drake Ayala and Cullan Schriever. All three were members of the Sebolt Wrestling Club for their high school careers.

Jesuroga won a Bronze medal at the 2021 Cadet World Freestyle Championships in Budapest, Hungary this summer at 51/kg/112 lbs. MatScouts has Jesuroga ranked #1 at 120 lbs. and #3 in their P4P rankings. He committed on October 9th to be a part of the Iowa Wrestling Recruiting Class of 2023.
