Between travel, the holiday, the Music City Bowl, and a few other Iowa sports things, the Soldier Salute event kind of slipped thru the cracks on me.
Not that there was a lot of drama to it -- both the men and women dominated some pretty weak fields.
The men had finalists in 7 weights (all but 125, 141, and 157) and crowned champs at all 7 weights.
There were all-Iowa finals at 133 and 184. Drake Ayala beat Kale Petersen 20-5 at 133, while Angelo Ferrari won via medical forfeit over Gabe Arnold at 184. Shame we weren't able to see Ferrari and Arnold go at it.
