Iowa recruits to compete in Atlanta April 2-3

8 of our incoming Iowa Wrestling recruits will be in action this weekend at the Elite 8 in Atlanta, Georgia. This is an elite dual meet tournament featuring wrestling clubs from around the country.

The action will take place in the Renaissance Atlanta Waverly Hotel with dual meets beginning on Saturday, April 2nd at 10 AM CST and Sunday April 3rd at 8 AM CST.

You can watch all of the dual meets at the Elite 8 on PPV live stream on Rokfin.

Iowa Wrestling Recruiting Class of 2022: Joel Jesuroga (145), Carter Martinson (152), Aiden Riggins (160), Carson Martinson (Alternate), and Brad Hill (195).

Iowa Wrestling Recruiting Class of 2023: Nate Jesuroga (120), Ryder Block (132), Ben Kueter (220).

I like seeing Hayden Taylor in the SWA lineup. Taylor is an outstanding wrestler that won three state titles at Solon, Iowa and did not get to compete at State this year.

Clubs competing at Elite 8:

Sebolt Wrestling Academy (IA)

Minions (S. East)

Beast Coast (NJ)

Roundtree (S. East)

DC Elite (CA)

Black Mambas (CO/IA)

Vision Quest (NY)

Lumberjacks (OH/MI)

Arnold update:

Elite incoming recruit Gabe Arnold of Wyoming Seminary will be competing at the Journeymen in Troy, New York on April 9-10. Arnold is coming off an injury and is looking to be 100% in competition. Arnold is a highly ranked recruit at 170 lbs. in the Recruiting Class of 2023. I will keep you up to date right here on my blog with his results.

I have been stating for months that the Iowa Wrestling Recruiting Class of 2023 of Nate Jesuroga (120), Ryder Block (132), Gabe Arnold (170), and Ben Kueter (220) is the best junior recruiting class in the history of Iowa Wrestling. The Class of 2023 is one recruit that I have in mind away from being the greatest recruiting class in the history of Iowa Wrestling. By a good margin.
