Competing at 62 kg/136 lbs. Schmit was 1-2 for the tournament.

She competed in the Open division that had 26 teams from 16 countries. This is a big step up in competition for a true freshman to compete in an open international tournament.

Originally from Bettendorf, Iowa where she was a three-time IWCOA state champion, Schmit was the 2022 Dan Gable Ms. Wrestler of the Year. Schmit was the first native Iowan to join the Iowa Women’s wrestling team.

Schmit is a true freshman at the University of Iowa. Members of the new women’s program can compete unattached this year and the first official year will be for the 2023-24 season.

Iowa recruits in action Feb 15-18: RESULTS

The regular season for our incoming Iowa Wrestling recruits finished on a high note. All four of our recruits won a State title in Des Moines this weekend.

Kale Petersen had three straight major decisions to make the finals. In the Finals Petersen defeated Anders Kittelson of Osage 7-3 to win the 2A 132 lbs. title. This was Petersen’s third state title. Petersen closed out his senior season with a perfect 42-0 record.

Ryder Block looked great in winning the 3A 138 lbs. title. He had two pins and a tech fall before defeating Kane Naaktgeboren of Linn-Mar in the finals, 11-4. Block finished the season with a 45-0 record. For his career Block won three state titles and was a four-time finalist. Block was named as the Casey’s Class 3A Wrestling Championships MVP. 

Gabe Arnold had two pins and a tech fall on his way to the 3A 182 lbs. finals. In the finals Arnold defeated Tate Naaktgeboren of Linn-Mar, TB-1 2-1. This marked the fourth time that Arnold defeated Iowa State recruit Naaktgeboren this season. In the MatScouts Rankings Arnold is #2 and Naaktgeboren is #4 in the country at 182 lbs. Arnold finished the season with a 41-0 record.

Ben Kueter closed out his amazing high school career in style. Kueter started the tournament with three first period pins in :14, :12, and 1:53. In the finals Kueter defeated Joseph Lewis of Dubuque Hempstead by a 19-4 tech fall in 4:49 to win the 3A 220 lbs. title.

Kueter became the 32nd four-time state champion in Iowa high school wrestling history and also just the seventh wrestler in state history to finish a four year career undefeated. Kueter finished up with a 111-0 career record with 74 pins.

Kueter was awarded as the 2023 State Wrestling Championships MVP Award. Kueter is listed as the overall #1 recruit in the country pound for pound by MatScouts.

Keyan Hernandez won his third AA Montana state title last weekend.

When you add in Cody Chittum that was the overall #1 recruit in the country in 2022 that will enroll with the Class of 2023 this August at Iowa there is a lot to be excited about.

I will continue to follow our incoming recruits throughout the freestyle season.

The future looks great for Iowa Wrestling.

Oklahoma State preview

Iowa will host Oklahoma State at 3:30 PM this Sunday, February 19 for the final dual meet of the year. This is a dual meet as a fan you look forward to every year. 

Iowa-Oklahoma State, Senior Day, Alumni Day, last dual meet of the season, live coverage on BTN and the radio, sold out standing room only crowd at legendary Carver-Hawkeye Arena, this will be a good day.

There is not a match of two highly ranked wrestlers in this meet which seems hard to believe. Abe Assad listed at 184 in the Probable Lineups along with Drake Rhodes is what really stood out to me. Assad last competed against Minnesota on February 3. Assad or Rhodes will face #10 Travis Wittlake.

The only other weight with more than one Hawkeye listed in the Probable Lineups is 133. #16 Brody Teske or Cullan Schriever will face #2 Daton Fix.

My top match of the meet is at 157 with #13 Cobe Siebrecht vs. #9 Kaden Gfeller. Siebrecht looks better and better as the season plays out going up against a gauntlet of higher ranked opponents.

#14 Nelson Brands vs. #11 Dustin Plott should be a good match at 174.

At 197 #12 Jacob Warner will face #17 Luke Surber. Surber defeated at the time #1 and undefeated Rocky Elam of Missouri 5-4 in a February 5th dual meet.

Oklahoma State enters the dual with a 14-2 record with losses to Minnesota on December 4 (18-12) and Iowa State on Jan 29 (18-11). Oklahoma State defeated Oklahoma last night (Thursday), 25-6 by winning eight of ten bouts.

The Cowboys won the Southern Scuffle and defeated Michigan (24-15) and Missouri (17-16).

Sunday will be Senior Day and Alumni Day. This will be the last time Iowa Wrestling fans will see Spencer Lee, Max Murin, and Jacob Warner compete in Carver-Hawkeye Arena for the Iowa Hawkeyes. This group of seniors will be missed.

I look forward to Alumni Day every year to see the legends of the past. What an amazing tradition of winning for Iowa Wrestling.

The Hawkeye Wrestling Club will have a Pre-Match Social at Joe’s Place starting at 12:30 PM Sunday before the big Iowa-Oklahoma State meet. Joe’s Place is located at 115 Iowa Ave in downtown Iowa City. 

I have been informed that there will not be a H.A.W.K. party on Sunday following the meet.

There will be a Black Out for fans at the dual meet Sunday. 

BTN will have live coverage of the Iowa-Oklahoma State dual meet. Mark Ironside and Steven Grace will be on 800 AM KXIC, iheartradio.com and hawkeyesports.com.

I believe Sunday will be an extra special great day to be an Iowa Wrestling fan.

Big day for Hawk fans on Sunday

Iowa will close out the regular season with a huge dual meet when they host Oklahoma State at 3:30 PM this Sunday, February 19. It will be a great day to be an Iowa Wrestling fan.

You can always count on an intense battle every time you have Iowa and Oklahoma State going at it on the wrestling mat. I expect a very enthusiastic crowd at a sold out Carver-Hawkeye Arena that will be heard. Even though the entire state of Iowa is getting snow right now, the weather forecast looks great for Sunday.

Fans will be coming out of a long weekend of the State tournament in Iowa. This is always a peak time of year for fans. I cannot think of a better weekend for wrestling fans in Iowa than State and an Iowa-Oklahoma State dual meet.

Sunday will be Senior Day and Alumni Day. This will be the last time Iowa Wrestling fans will see Spencer Lee, Max Murin, and Jacob Warner compete in Carver-Hawkeye Arena. I have followed this group more than any I have covered for this blog. I still remember the first time I heard about these guys from Ryan Morningstar years ago. I have enjoyed covering their Hawkeye careers on my Iowa Wrestling Fan Blog.

Alumni Day is always special and means more to me with every passing year. To see the Iowa Wrestling legends of the past is something I look forward to. The connection between current and former Iowa wrestlers is unlike any that I have seen or heard of in any other sport. What an amazing tradition. We have a great recruiting class coming in that may be in the crowd. It is always good to see the torch being passed down from one generation to the next.

The Hawkeye Wrestling Club will have a Pre-Match Social at Joe’s Place starting at 12:30 PM Sunday before the big Iowa-Oklahoma State meet. Joe’s Place is located at 115 Iowa Ave in downtown Iowa City.

I am expecting an intense and entertaining dual meet Sunday that will be great for fans in Carver, in front of their TV, radio, or computer.

Iowa Wrestling is my entertainment. I plan on being entertained Sunday.
