Iowa will be at the Journeymen Wrestling Uncivil War in St. Charles, Missouri on Friday, December 6 against Princeton (6 PM) and Army (8 PM).
This will be the first time that Iowa has competed in a dual meet in Missouri.
Iowa is ranked #2 in the Tournament and Dual Meet Rankings by InterMat. Princeton and Army are not ranked.
The first thing that stands out in the Probable Lineups is that Iowa does not have a wrestler listed at 157. #1 Jacori Teemer was injured in the Iowa State meet on November 23. Princeton and Army do not have a ranked wrestler listed at 157.
Isaiah Fenton is listed at 157 on the roster but has not competed this season. Iowa has a lot of depth at 149 for wrestlers to move up. If I had to guess I would go with Caleb Rathje, an NCAA Qualifier at 149 last year, competing in at least one of the dual meets.
I am hoping to see true freshman Miguel Estrada and Kael Voinovich compete at 157 while Teemer is out of the lineup.
Iowa has Kael Petersen and Joy Cruz listed at 125 where Princeton and Army both have a ranked wrestler.
At 141 we have Ryder Block and Cullan Schriever both listed. Block is 2-2 on the season and Schriever has not competed this season. Princeton and Army both have a ranked wrestler.
Nelson Brands and Patrick Kennedy are both listed at 174.
For rankings the best matchup of the two duals will be at 149 with #4 Kyle Parco vs. #9 Ty Whalen of Princeton. We will also have #2 Michael Caliendo vs. #13 Gunner Filipowicz of Army at 165.
I will have a follow up blog with results.
