We have another big weekend of competition for our incoming Iowa Wrestling recruits. Dru Ayala will be at the Alliance Conference Tournament at Des Moines North High School and Keyan Hernandez will be at the 19-team Battle on the Bighorn in Hardin, Montana on Saturday.
In Colorado on Saturday Jake Howell will be at the Centennial League Championships in Centennial and Leister Bowling will be at the 24-team Duff Seaney Invitational in Canyon City.
Leo DeLuca will have a home dual meet against North Hunterdon on Saturday.
It is tournament time for girls wrestling. Regionals is the first step for our recruits becoming a state champion. Cadence Diduch will be at the IHSA Girls Regional in Erie on Friday and Saturday.
On Friday in Mason City Kiara Djoumessi will be competing at Regional Qualifier 7 and Naomi Simon at the Regional Qualifier 8.
Best of luck to all of our recruits as they pursue becoming a 2024 state champion.
As I have done for years I will continue to post a blog on Friday of where our incoming recruits will be competing for the weekend and a follow up blog with results.
