CEDAR FALLS, Ia. — There are some new additions to the Northern Iowa wrestling room.
Some are obvious. New mats, after the program publicly fund-raised more than $65,000 this summer. New blood, too, as six freshmen joined the program as part of its 2019 recruiting class.
Some might be harder to see. There’s a confidence in the air that maybe wasn’t there last year.
