This afternoon Team Iowa finished off their top eight performance in Pennsylvania by defeating Minnesota 46-30 in the seventh place match at the Cadet Greco-Roman National Duals. Iowa started off the National Duals with a great day one by taking second in their pool to the eventual champions Illinois. Iowa then got off to a rock start in the first session, going 0-3 to drop to the seventh place match.
But it was in the seventh place match that Team Iowa rose to the occasion winning seven of their first eight matches against our neighbors to the north. Iowa was led by Garrett Kubovec, Zach McDaniel, Gable Fox, and Cam Shaver where each of them picked up falls, and none of them wrestling more than two minutes. Iowa got an additional fall from Alex Ward which was a big reason Iowa was able to out distance Minnesota.
