Day one is in the books for our recruits at the Iowa High School State Wrestling Tournament. Our incoming Iowa Wrestling recruits were a combined 10-0 with 7 pins, 2 tech falls, and a decision. Waverly-Shell Rock and Southeast Polk are 1-2 in the 3A team race with our recruits leading the way.
Easton Fleshman is in 2A and the remaining nine recruits are in 3A.
I have first round results and Quarterfinals matches listed below.
I will bring you results this season for all of our incoming recruits right here on my blog.
The future looks great for Iowa Wrestling.
