by J.R. Ogden, Asst. Sports Editor Cedar Rapids Gazette

He's enthusiastic. He's excited. And he's raring to go. But he's also realistic. Mark Manning, the seventh head coach in the storied history of University of Northern Iowa wrestling, knows the task facing him this season is formidable --the Panthers are coming off a 7-8 dual season and a 41st-place finish in the NCAA Championships they hosted last March. But the former North Carolina and Oklahoma assistant is ready to make the Panthers a force once again. "I'm going in with the attitude that I want our guys to get better every BenBat'ton tournament, every dual meet and I'm just campaign last year with a banged up but haven't tasted much success at the taking it one week .at a time," said knee.

Bigley went 26-7 last season, mostly at 177, but was forced to wrestle heavyweight at the West Regional when he couldn't beat out Barton for a starting spot. "We have some talent," Manning said. "We just have some gaping holes." The rest of the Panther lineup will include either John Zelinski, transfer Eric Keller or Mike Kerker at 118 pounds; Mike Corsiglia at 126; Nick Flach or Keith Weber at 134; Glenn Pero, Jeff Evans or Phil Heim at 142; Jason Haag, Nate Lawrenz or Matt Barton at 158; Robert Armey, Tim Duff or Kyle Hansen at 167; and Burt Beamer at heavyweight.

"I think it's a team that's going to get better as the year goes on ," Manning said. "I think we have the potential for five or six all-Americans. I think that's where the guys have to think. " "I think we have a bunch of hungry wrestlers," he added. "We have some Tony Wieland guys that want to be national champions. But Manning refuses to set goals and Iowa State.
