    Iowa Wrestling Recap Hawkeyes Win Big Ten Title Crown 4 Champions

    From: Brewer, Christopher J [email protected] Subject: Iowa Wrestling Recap -- Hawkeyes Win Big Ten Title, Crown 4 Champions Date: March 7, 2021 at 6:55 PM To: undisclosed-recipients:; Brackets attached. University of Iowa Wrestling Athletics Communications Contact: Chris Brewer Hawkeyes Win Big Ten Title, Crown 4 Champions UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – The top-ranked University of Iowa wrestling team won the 2021 Big Ten Championships on Sunday, scoring 159.5 team points and crowning four individual champions. Alex Marinelli won his third straight 165-pound conference title, and Spencer Lee defended his 125-pound championship. Jaydin Eierman and Michael Kemerer became first-time Big Ten champions, leading Iowa to its second straight and 37th Big Ten Conference title. The team title is Iowa’s second in as many years and the 37th in program history. The Hawkeyes 35.5 point margin of victory is the largest by a conference champion since the 2010 Hawkeyes won by 37 points. “We’re going to St. Louis in less than two weeks. That’s really where their heads are. That’s where my head is,” said Iowa head coach Tom Brands. “You talk about performance, let’s do it again. (Someone) mentioned finishing at your seed or performing above your expectations, and that’s what competitors do. Let’s do it in St. Louis.” INDIVIDUAL CHAMPIONS Lee surrendered the first takedown of the 125-pound title bout but went on to outscore Purdue’s Devin Schroder, 21-1, over the next four minutes. He led 11-3 by the end of the first period and terminated the match leading 21-3 with 30 seconds left in the second.
  • Another Olympics Is Over for Wrestling by Olympic Champion John Peterson #42

    Another Olympics Is Over for Wrestling by Olympic Champion John Peterson #42

    Another Olympics is over for Wrestling By Olympic Champion John Peterson #42 The excitement is over, another Olympics is history. There were some great matches! Mindorashivili, of Georgia, pinning Russia’s returning World Champion, Georgy Ketoev, at 84kg. in the semi-finals caught my attention. Actually Ketoev is a Georgian, born in Tbilisi. With a war going on back home that had to have been an interesting match up! Athens champion, Taymazov, Uzbekistan became heavy weight champion again! He proved that he is the true champion by defeating Russian 2000 Olympic Champion David Mussulbes, now wrestling for Slovakia in the semi-finals and in the finals Russian Akhmedov, who beat last year’s World Champion to make the Russian Olympic team. They all are from the same area of the Caucuses. And what can you say about Buvaysa Saytiev? He won the World’s as a 19 year old in Atlanta. He joins the all time greats by winning his third Olympic Gold to go with his 6 World titles. That tall thin body proves again that anybody can win on the mat! Thank you Tony Black for helping us navigate through the system to be on the right mat at the right time. For those of us who are “computer challenged”, you made it easier to handle. I proved that I am still a wrestling fanatic by getting up at 3:30 a.m. and 4:30 a.m. to watch some of the wrestle-backs and finals. And how about Henry? Congratulations Henry Cejudo! Welcome to the club of Olympic champions! Thank you Terry Brands for pouring yourself into coaching in the same way you did as an athlete.

  • 1972 Vs 1992 Olympic Teams

    1972 Vs 1992 Olympic Teams

    ’72 vs. ’92: What Would Really Happen by John Peterson & Ethan Bosch #12 After reading Kyle Klingman’s article on the match between the 1972 and 1992 Freestyle Olympic Teams, I felt the strong urge to counter. After all, that is what wrestling teaches us - we do not just learn offense; we also learn defense. Having had the privilege of being at both the ’72 and ’92 Olympics, I can speak with some authority on the subject. I realize it is always dangerous to go up against historians when tackling these kinds of tasks. Therefore, I approach this work with some fear, but not to the point of trembling! Since I let my teammates down by losing a close one to Kevin Jackson, I feel the competitive juices begin to flow with the desire to defend my teammates and somehow help them in this imaginary epic struggle between outstanding warriors. I am sure that Coach Bill Farrell would have figured out a way. With Coach’s ability to instill confidence in his men and Wayne Wells as Captain, surely the 1972 team would have prevailed, somehow! 105.5: Sergio Gonzalez vs. Tim Vanni (Klingman: 4-3, Vanni in OT) The first match is an all-important one. It is safe to argue that a man who ties the returning world champion is worthy of a closer look. Sergio Gonzales also tied the West German in a match that was filled with hometown calls, as I recall. So, given that fact, it is safe to believe that Sergio could just have easily been on the victory stand if we had been in a different arena.
