Hawks seeks 3-peat at NCAA wrestling tourney
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - The Iowa wrestling team is busy preparing
for next weekend's NCAA tournament in Omaha, Neb.
The Hawkeyes took home the Big Ten title for the 34th time in
school history last weekend. They'll be the favorites to win the
NCAA team title for the third year in a row.
Speaking Wednesday, coach Tom Brands called it the time of year
to get excited. Brands says the Hawkeyes are ready for the year's
biggest meet, adding they have a lot of firepower.
Iowa has qualified its entire 10-man lineup for the NCAA
tournament for the first time since 2004.
The Hawkeyes will be seeking their 23rd national title in Omaha.
