We are down to just four dual meets before the tournament season kicks in. I have listed all of the weights with our upcoming opponents and their current rankings.
38 of the final 40 opponents Iowa will face in dual meet matches are ranked in the top 33 in the country. 33 is the number of NCAA Qualifiers per weight class at Nationals. So nearly every match is the equivalent of a match at Nationals.
We are are all set for an entertaining finish to the wrestling season.
