Question: Best wrestler from Iowa currently?

[Mpchillin]

So far this is what I have for Iowa. Anyone care to add 157 or 174?

125- Schwarm
133- Laux or Jack Wagner?
141- Happel
149- Sorenson
157- Logan Ryan, Dan Kelly, or Colton Clingenpeel?
165- Steiert
174- Yant?
184- Foster
197- Milkus
Hvy- Harrington

I have an Illinois and Ohio list I put together already. I will add Minnesota, thanks rodent. Michigan would be an interesting one as well, but I don't know Michigan well enought to assemble a lineup myself.

I would probably have Jack Hathaway ahead of Happel at this point.

I'll try one for NJ w Intermat rankings

125. Suriano, Rutgers (2)
133. DelVecchio, Rutgers (10)
141. Ashnault , Rutgers (5)
149. Heilman , UNC (9)
157. Clagon, Rider, (7)
165. Walsh, Rider (4)
174. Bernstein , Navy (7)
184. Martin, Ohio St, (2)
197. Cassar, PSU, (11)
285- Correnti, Rider (UR)

174 - Kutler, Lehigh (5)
But I think Ethan Ramos is better than both; I don't know why he hasn't been doing as well as when he started -- perhaps injuries.

 

[TarpHawk]

Maybe they would want to revisit 1987

118: John Regan (#5 seed, DNP)
126: Mike Schwab (8th)
134: Jeff Gibbons (3rd)
142: Greg Randall (#4 seed, DNP)
150: Tim Krieger (1st)/Jim Heffernan (2nd)
158: Stewart Carter (1st)
167: Royce Alger (1st)
177: ?
190: Eric Voelker (1st)
Hwy: Mark Sindlinger (4th)

So Iowa may have a down year this year, but last year they didn’t. My point is you can’t take a 1 year snap and say Iowa wrestling is down or not. Because it has good years and not so good years.

Agreed. How about the 2 year snapshot including next year without Sorenson then?

We have a guy that has beaten Sorensen in Lugo.Not saying he is better, but he will be damn good.

Right, not complaining from a Hawkeye standpoint, but rather from a state of Iowa high school talent.

Max Thomsen from UNI. 5th at 149 last year as a freshman. I think he will be able to fill the roll for a couple of years.
