Three members of the Hawkeye Wrestling Club will be competing at the Ibrahim Moustafa Ranking Event in Alexandria, Egypt on Sunday, February 26. Austin DeSanto (61 kg), Pat Lugo (65 kg), and Cody Chittum (70 kg) of the Hawkeye Wrestling Club will be among the 21 men’s freestyle wrestlers representing Team USA in this major international tournament.
HWC coach Daniel Dennis will be on the coaching staff.
All of the wrestling will be streamed live on the premium service of FloWrestling.
I anticipate that all members of the HWC will compete at the 2023 U.S. Open for men’s freestyle on April 27-28 in Las Vegas.
It is great to be an Iowa Wrestling fan.
Go Hawks!
