Last week the University of Iowa picked up another elite recruit when Samantha Sachs of Glendora, California announced that she committed to the Hawkeyes.
In the most recent National Girls High School Rankings Sachs is listed at #11 P4P(pound for pound) and #2 at 130.
Sachs joins Isabella Gonzales, also from California, in the Recruiting Class of 2025.
In the national Recruiting Class of 2025 Gonzales is #1 and Sachs is #5.
Sachs won a Junior National title in Fargo last summer at 130 and was a state runner-up in California.
Sachs won the 130 lbs. title at the Brian Keck Memorial Pre-Season Nationals in Des Moines, Iowa in October.
With the addition next season of Sachs and Gonzales there will be the eight wrestlers on the roster from California. Bringing in elite recruits from California will be a big factor to keep Iowa on top of the women’s college wrestling world.
As I have done with all of our incoming recruits for years on this blog I will add Sachs to my Friday blogs of upcoming weekend competitions and a follow up blog with results on my “Recruits in action” series.
