I'll be interested in hearing from those who were actually there on what they saw. Three interesting looking teams, some old hats, and some new faces.

It's great, for me, to see that five of the seven guys on the freestyle team have Iowa ties. Zadick, Schwab and Mocco all wrestled and train at Iowa currently. Askren was born in Cedar Rapids and Cejudo trains with Terry Brands. The last two are a couple of steps removed from Iowa but still tied. Congrats to all!
