Pat Lugo and Victoria Francis of the Hawkeye Wrestling Club will be representing Team USA at elite international tournaments. Lugo will be at the Dan Kolov-Nikola Petrov International in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria. Lugo will be competing at 65 kg (143 lbs.) on February 18-19.
From USA Wrestling:
As of now, the live stream is believed to be hosted on the Bulgarian Wrestling Federation’s YouTube page.
Victoria Francis will represent Team USA at the Yasar Dogu in Istanbul, Turkey. There are numerous World and Olympic champions and medal winners that have already registered for this elite event. Francis will compete at 72 kg on February 26.Â
I am reporting this information from an article released by FloWrestling. USA Wrestling did not have a press release on this competition at the time I released this blog.
From the press release on FloWrestling:
The Yasar Dogu will be the first of four Ranking Series events of the year where wrestlers will look to accumulate seeding points for September’s World Championships.

There will be a live stream of the Yasir Dogu on the premium service of FloWrestling.
I will follow up with results right here on my blog.
It is great to be an Iowa Wrestling fan.
Go Hawks!
