Iowa State will be wrestling Purdue on Dec. 19 at none other than Humbodlt High School in a non-conference matchup.
Why Humboldt?
Cyclones head coach Kevin Dresser and Purdue head coach Tony Ersland both competed for the Hawks in their early wrestling days. Both coaches won two Iowa High School State Championships in their high school careers.
Humboldt is a town in Humboldt County with a population of 4,690. The small town is just 80 miles north of Ames. The Hawks have 29 individual state champions in the schools’ history along with one duals championship, coming in 1968.
