Drake Rhodes and Easton Fleshman had dominating performances this weekend. Rhodes was 3-0 with three pins in 1:33, 1:59, and 3:45 at the Eastern Seeding Tournament. Rhodes will compete at the Montana State Tournament next weekend. Fleshman had two pins in :50 and 1:33 to win a Sectional title. They were the only Hawkeye recruits to compete over the weekend.

All of our incoming recruits from Iowa will compete at Disrticts next weekend and then the State Tournament the following weekend. I did see where elite recruit Gabe Arnold was at the Iowa-Wisconsin dual meet in Carver-Hawkeye Arena yesterday.

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.
