Before the newsy aspect of this post, let’s keep going with our series thanking the five Iowa seniors for their service to the Hawkeye wrestling program. Read Thomas Gilman’s, Cory Clark’s, and Topher Carton’s if you’d like. Alex Meyer is today, with Sammy Brooks closing up shop tomorrow.
As is the case with a fair amount of out-of-state students, my wrestling knowledge wasn’t (and still isn’t, mind you) superb heading into my freshman year at Iowa. It was so not-superb and/or mat-focused that Alex Meyer was the most prevalent name I heard in that first semester as a west-side dormitory resident.
