Head Coach: Tom Brands

RECAP

The Iowa wrestling team finished fourth behind top-placed Penn State, followed by Ohio State and Nebraska. They were 0.5 points ahead of 5th place Michigan.

Iowa had one finalist in Michael Caliendo, but he lost to the top-ranked wrestler. Drake Ayala and Nasir Bailey finished 3rd, while Patrick Kennedy and Ben Kueter finished 4th.

Seven Hawkeyes finished on the podium, and Iowa qualified nine of 10 weights for the NCAA Championships, but there were no individual champions. The Hawkeyes have sent at least nine wrestlers to the national tournament for 14 straight years and 18 times since 2007, Tom Brands’ first year as head coach.
