He appeared to suffer some sort of collarbone/chest injury against Swiderski. Gutted it out for that match, but defaulted pretty quickly in the finals.

A healthy Williams is a very tough match up for Rathjen (they wrestled in the fargo finals I think). His head outside defense is phenomenal and that's Rathjen's best attack. He ate VV alive there in the dual. That should be a very good r1 match if Williams is able to wrestle close to his ability with the injury.

Is it free to sign up for text alerts? I’m not seeing it on their page

 

[sandiegohawk]

Just got my first mat assignment text, Ayala Bout 19 Mat 1.

I have the ESPN app open. Where is the best place to get up to date Iowa mat assignments?

 

[Grip220]

[OptionalStart]

ESPN Matcast is the best, all mats, good commentary. Like being in the building.

I have a trackwrestling login so I can choose “my wrestlers” on the hub page of the tournament.

 

[Kwoodhawk]

Hoping some of you kind, intelligent gentlemen will post mat assignments when you see them. Pretty Please!

 

[A Fist Full of Hawkeyes]

Just got my first mat assignment text, Ayala Bout 19 Mat 1.

What app are you using for those text alerts?

 

[Muscles1989]

Let the madness and upsets begin

 

[Dont_Just_Dream]

Let's Go Hawks! Good luck to all these young men (and Daton Fix) in the tournament across all teams.

 

[jmadden1998]

What app are you using for those text alerts?

Track wrestling.

 

[Themanintheyellowhat]

That's a long time to be on deck...

What app are you using for those text alerts?

If you have a flo account, select your team then the individual wrestlers. Some what helpful if you don't have multiple screens.

 

[Themanintheyellowhat]

I have the ESPN app open. Where is the best place to get up to date Iowa mat assignments?

Flo/ Track wrestling has an app that will text you mats once they are assigned, they just post them when they are in the hole, so there can be a lot of standing around once you get your text.

 

[Bucky712]

LFG

I have the ESPN app open. Where is the best place to get up to date Iowa mat assignments?

Trackwrestling. Enter event, select Mat Assignments from menu. Can choose to just see mat assignments for your team or all teams/mats

 

[Hawkeye4lifee]

Liu and vmi with first round wins. Kinda crazy

 

[ping72]

why no pigtail at 141?

 

[sdvike]

why no pigtail at 141?

I think a wrestler dropped out yesterday.

 

[sstark46]

I think a wrestler dropped out yesterday.

Plus the first alternate did not weigh in today after the bracket was redrawn. Assumption is he was notified late about the change and wasn't close enough to weight to make it

 

[Tcalumet]

why no pigtail at 141?

Alternate not going for some reason

 

[Grip220]
