The Hawkeye Wrestling Club will host a Social between rounds of Soldier Salute on Monday, December 30 at 30hop at 900 E 2nd St in Coralville. 30hop is a short walk from Xtreme Arena, host of Soldier Salute.

Session 3 of Soldier Salute is estimated to be completed by 3 PM.

The HWC Socials are free of charge and provide a great opportunity to meet HWC wrestlers, former Hawkeye greats and other Iowa Wrestling fans.

Iowa will have 29 wrestlers competing as an Iowa Hawkeye or unattached at Soldier Salute. 

I am sure the Iowa Football bowl game will be on the big screens for fans to enjoy.

From HawkeyeWrestlingClub.com:

For the past two years we have been partnering with local bars and restaurants to provide our fans with Pre-Match Socials!

Incoming Iowa Wrestling recruits were on the mats this weekend. Harvey Ludington continues to tear them up. He won the Mustang Classic in his home gym where he was 4-0 with two pins in :36 and :40 and two tech falls. All four matches were decided in the first period.

Isabella Gonzales and Samantha Sachs won titles at the 116-team Queen of the Hill in Corona, California on Friday and Saturday. 

Gonzales won the title at 120 where she was 6-0 with five first period pins. Sachs placed first at 130 where she was 6-0 with four pins and two major decisions. Impressive results in tough competition.

Go Hawks!

The Iowa Wrestling team will be back on the mats on Sunday and Monday at Soldier Salute. The Hawks last competed on December 6 at Uncivil War with wins over Princeton and Army.

Iowa will have 29 wrestlers competing as an Iowa Hawkeye or unattached. Twenty-three teams are listed to compete in Xtreme Arena in Coralville, Iowa.

We will have to wait and see who actually shows up for the teams listed.

True freshman from the Iowa Wrestling Recruiting Class of 2024 will be a big interest for me. We have Miguel Estrada and Kael Voinovich at 149 and Angelo Ferrari at 184. A potential Ferrari-Gabe Arnold match at 184 would be fun to watch.

I am also looking forward to seeing Kale Petersen at 125. I believe he has a lot of potential to score good points for us at Nationals. Soldier Salute offers Petersen a great opportunity to pick up needed experience and confidence.

Ryder Block(141) and Nelson Brands(174) are not listed at this time.

The Iowa Women’s team will have 22 wrestlers competing.

As a fan I am looking forward to seeing a possible match between defending national champion and #1 ranked Reese Larramendy and teammate and #3 ranked Macey Kilty at 145.

This team is loaded with stars and should entertain the hometown crowd.

Soldier Salute will be streamed live on Big+ premium service.

Steven Grace and Mark Ironside will call the action on AM 800 KXIC and will be audio streamed online at hawkeyesports.com (via YouTube).

Incoming Iowa Wrestling recruits will be competing this weekend.

Isabella Gonzales and Samantha Sachs will be at the 158-team 11th Annual Queen of the Hill in Corona, California on Friday and Saturday. I believe that is the biggest high school tournament that I have ever heard of. This is  a great example of how big girls wrestling is in California.

Paolo Ciatto will be at the Pearl River O’Connell Tournament on Saturday.

Powerade in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania will be on Friday and Saturday. This is always one of the toughest tournaments in the country every year. I do not see Ty and Jarrel Miller of St. Ed’s or Owen McMullen of Bishop McCort listed on FloArena.

There were a few incoming Iowa Wrestling recruits competing this weekend.

Harvey Ludington did not spend a lot of time on the mat recently. On Thursday night he pinned his opponent in the Southern Regional dual meet in :10. At the TCNJ Pride Tournament in Trenton, New Jersey on Saturday he pinned his quarterfinals opponent in :38 and followed up with a :44 pin in the semifinals. In the finals Ludington won by an 18-3 tech fall in 1:09. That is taking care of business in a hurry.

Leister Bowling won the 175 lbs. title at the 88-team North Colorado Christmas Tournament in Greeley. Bowling was 6-0 with four tech falls and a pin on the day in the first competition that I have found results for him this season.

Paolo Ciatto was home at Iona Prep competing in the CHSAA-NYC Dual Meet Qualifiers(New York State Catholic High School Athletic Association) on Saturday. I have not found any results at this time. I will post results as soon as they become available.

The Iowa Hawkeyes remained ranked #1 in the NWCA NCAA Women’s Coaches Poll. Iowa is #1 with 120 points followed by King at 86 and North Central with 85. 

The Hawks have five wrestlers that remained ranked #1: Rianne Murphy(103), Brianna Gonzalez(117), Reese Larramendy(145), Kylie Welker(180), and Jaycee Foeller(207).

Also ranked for Iowa: Sterling Dias(#2-103), Emilie Gonzalez(#5-110), Skye Realin(#6-131), Nanea Estrella(#3-138), Macey Kilty(#3-145), Kennedy Blades (#2-160), Naomi Simon(#7-180) and Katja Osteen (#5-207).

At 145 Macey Kilty makes her debut in the rankings at #3.  Emily Frost(131) and Ella Schmit(145) dropped out of the rankings.

I have to point out that Kilty won bronze recently at the 2024 Senior World Championships and silver in 2023 yet she is ranked #3 at 145 in college.

Kennedy Blades won silver at the Olympics this summer but is ranked #2 at 160.

Iowa has not had a wrestler ranked at 124 this season.

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.
