Past Hawkeyes Giving Away Medals at the Podium

[Exo]

Loved how we had some familiar faces giving the medals to the wrestlers on the podium.

Can anyone list out all the past hawks who were putting the metals around the placewinner's necks? I got distracted toward the end.

TIA

Ok, huge fan of having Jody Strittmatter hand that award out, for obvious reasons!

Maybe Jody can convince some of his "Young Guns" to come to Iowa City.

And an NCAA champ! Si Roberts is a huge feather in the cap of U of I wrestling's history.
