The hawks sent nearly their whole squad to a D3 meet yesterday with mixed results. I think the coaches needed to see what they had in some of their guys before getting to Ames. After those results, here is my updated predictions.
125 - Ayala v Kysen: 3-0 hawks
133 - Frost v Teske: 3-3
Teske got dinged up so he will need to recover
141 - Woods v Frost: 6-3 Iowa
149 - Ech v VV: 6-6
157 - Chittum v Franek: 9-6 Iowa
165 - David v Caliendo: 9-9
174 - Gaitan v Arnold: 12-9 Iowa
184 - Feldkamp v Swafford: 12-12
197 - Broderson v Glazier: 15-12 Iowa
Hwt - Bastida v Hill: 16-15 Cyclones Win
I realize that Ech could be down to 141 from the inside sources here and Casey could be in at 149. For now, I’ll keep my predictions as such. Until I see Chittum doing it, I’ll have to go with Franek. I think Gabe is a little better than Gaitan and I hope that doesn’t turn into a major. Swafford is a very quality wrestler and I think he keeps it to a decision. Broderson could beat Glazier but for dramatics I gave that toss up to Iowa. With a Broderson win we can comfortably walk into the last match. I’ve decided Bastida will major Hill although I’m not surprised by a decision. CYCLONES WIN!
