Hawks have 5 champs at Grand View Open

The University of Iowa Women’s Wrestling team competed at the Grand View Open in Des Moines on Saturday. There were 56 teams with nineteen Iowa wrestlers competing in the Gold division and four in the Silver division.

Iowa had five champs in the Gold division with Rianne Murphy(101), Ava Bayless(110), Reese Larramendy(145), Naomi Simon(180) and Katja Osteen(207). 

The Grand View Open provided some very good competition for Iowa including several big Hawk vs. Hawk matches.

This was the last competition for Iowa in the regular season so this competition may finalize the lineup heading in the tournament season.

True freshman Naomi Simon continues to tear it up this season by winning the 180 lbs. title by going 4-0 with two pins and two falls.

Another true freshman Valarie Solorio defeated #5 nationally ranked Emilie Gonzalez 8-0 at 110. 

This Iowa team has such a loaded roster that there very well could be All Americans not make the lineup.

#1 ranked Macey Kilty(145), Kennedy Blades(160) and Kylie Weker(180) did not compete. Kilty(65 kg), Blades(68 kg), and Welker(72 kg) are registered to compete at the Zagreb Open in Croatia on February 7-8.

Iowa-Maryland preview with Probable Lineups

The Iowa Hawkeyes will be back in action on Sunday at Maryland for a Big Ten dual meet at 1 PM CST. 

Maryland is 8-6 in dual meets and last competed on January 24 with a 33-7 loss at home to Illinois. 

On January 10th Maryland topped at the time #10 Michigan at Michigan, 19-18.

Maryland has five ranked wrestlers that will provide good matchups. The biggest matches for me will be at 157 and Hwt. with Jacori Teemer vs. #6 Ethen Miller and #11 Ben Kueter vs. #12 Seth Nevills.

We will also have a big match at 184 with true freshman Angelo Ferrari vs. #10 Jaxon Smith and #3 Drake Ayala vs. #11 Braxton Brown at 133.

Every single match is important for seeds at Big Tens and Nationals.

I look for Iowa to get back on track and have a good showing against Maryland.

Iowa-Penn State preview with Probable Lineups

Wrestling fans across the country and around the world will take notice on Friday, January 31 at 6 PM CST. #2 Iowa will be on the road to take on #1 Penn State.

This meet has it all. Live on TV. Huge crowd of over 15,000 fans. Three matches of undefeated wrestlers at 157, 165 and 197. Several wrestlers listed at two weights for the Hawks. Everything is lined up for a great dual meet.

Every single match will be intense as you would expect from a #1 vs. #2 typical Iowa-Penn State dual meet.

Of the ten matches the most anticipated will be at 184. Penn State has four-time NCAA champion Carter Starocci. Iowa has both redshirt freshman #5 Gabe Arnold and true freshman Angelo Ferrari.

Who will take the mat for Iowa at 184? As a fan I want to see Ferrari. I have wanted to see this match since I saw Ferrari in the Iowa room in practice last October. I want to see where he is at right now.  

I do not care about clickbait quotes being thrown around. I want to see the Starocci-Ferrari match and this is the one opportunity. This match eventually could break the record for most individual NCAA titles won by two opponents in a match. Leave absolutely no doubt that I definitely want Ferrari to redshirt this season. 

The only thing I do know for certain is Tom Brands could care less what people think and he will make the call.  184 does give us fans something extra to look forward to in this meet.

Iowa has the slightly higher ranked wrestlers at 133, 149,157, and 197. Penn State has a big edge in rankings at 125 and 141. 

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

Let’s get ‘em in the middle.

Iowa in the new InterMat Rankings

InterMat released updated rankings this morning. Iowa remained #2 in both the Tournament and Dual Meet Rankings.

The top four remained the same in both rankings. It is Penn State-Iowa-Oklahoma State-Nebraska in the Tournament Rankings and  Penn State-Iowa-Oklahoma State-Ohio State in the Dual Rankings.

Penn State went down 2.5 points and Iowa .5 points. 

Iowa has nine wrestlers ranked in the top 33 which would be an NCAA Qualifier. There are seven Hawks ranked in the top six that would be an All American this year.

 


The Heights Rooftop: Wedding venue in University Heights, Iowa2T Construction in Lisbon, Iowa

 

Apparently wins over higher ranked opponents did not affect where the Hawks are ranked. Joey Cruz has recently beat two wrestlers ranked above him, #18 Nicolar Rivera(Wisc) and #16 Brendan McCrone(OhSt), but is still only at #26. 

Ben Kueter defeated the #6 ranked wrestler on Saturday and went from #12 to #11.

Ryder Block drops a match to the #1 ranked defending national champion and is no longer ranked.

Hard for me to understand rankings like that.

The Hawks are back in action this Friday, January 31 at Penn State at 6 PM CST on BTN.

Another big weekend of Iowa Wrestling

We had yet another big weekend of competition for Iowa Wrestling. Here is a weekend wrap-up to keep you up to date.

On Saturday Iowa defeated #4 Ohio State 24-13. I will start by saying how impressed I was with the crowd. A 1 PM start time is a conflict with high school and kids wrestling tournaments yet there was a great crowd in legendary Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

Iowa won 7 matches against a loaded Ohio State team in an impressive showing. Joey Cruz continues to be a spark in the lineup with his third straight Big Ten win of the new year with a 6-5 decision over #28 Brendan McCrone at 125. 

I thought that was a huge match after I found out that #3 Drake Ayala would not be wrestling. That news had me concerned about the dual meet. Cruz came through to set the tone for the meet.

The big news story of the day was the return of #1 Jacori Teemer at 157. Teemer has been out with an injury and this was his first competition since November 23. Teemer looked good in a 10-5 decision over #17 Sammy Sasso. Michael Caliendo was also stood out with an 11-3 major decision over #9 Paddy Gallagher.

Stephan Buchanan looked like the #1 ranked wrestler in the country with an 18-1 tech fall over #17 Seth Shumate. Buchanan just keeps getting better.

Ben Kueter defeated #6 Nick Feldman at Hwt, 5-4. This was a huge win for Kueter with his first win over a top eight ranked wrestler.

Overall this was a real good showing for Iowa. 

The Hawks are back in action this Friday, January 31 at Penn State at 6 PM CST on BTN.

The 2025 edition of the Arctic Plunge was a big success for the Hawkeye Wrestling Club. This is the biggest fundraiser every year for the HWC.

The Arctic Plunge was held at the Brown Deer Golf Course in Coralville following the Iowa-Ohio State dual meet.

For the second year in a row over $150,000 was raised.

I was able to hear Tom Brands’ interview on KCJJ after the meet. Coach Brands spoke well of Chad Beatty, Executive Director of the HWC, on his organization and energy making the Arctic Plunge a success.

Thank you to all that donated, raised money and supported the 2025 HWC Arctic Plunge.

Harvey Ludington was 4-0 with two tech falls and a pin to win the 42-team Shore Conference Tournament in Lakewood, NJ.
