IOWA HAWKEYES WRESTLING 2017: A Look Back

Well, it’s over.

The 2016-17 Iowa wrestling program won the Midlands, took third at Big Tens with two individual champions, and took fourth at NCAAs behind Penn State, Ohio State, and Oklahoma State. They finished 13-2 overall with a loss on the road to the Cowboys and at home against the Nittany Lions.

Was this season a success?

Not so sure there’s a definitive answer there. Iowa doesn’t — and hasn’t — had the depth to put a real dent in the Cael Sanderson dynasty for close to a decade, but nor has anyone in college wrestling.
