(Radio Iowa) – The second ranked Iowa wrestling team will close out the home season on Saturday against ninth ranked Wisconsin. It will be the final home appearance for a senior class that endured the cancellation of the 2020 NCAA Championships due to COVID before leading the Hawkeyes to a national title last year. Iowa coach Tom Brands says it is a group that has had a big impact on the program.

Brands describes the senior class as “low maintenance”.

165-pounder Alex Marinelli is focusing on his match and not his final appearance in Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
