DETROIT, Mich. — Greetings from Little Caesars Arena, home of the 2022 NCAA Wrestling Championships.
Thursday is the first day of competition at the national tournament. There will be three rounds of wrestling spread across two sessions — the first round during the first session, then the second round and first-round wrestlebacks in the second session.
Iowa, the 2021 NCAA team champs, brought all 10 starters to Detroit this weekend and will be vying for a second consecutive national team title. In Session I, the Hawkeyes went 8-2 overall.
Iowa State brought 9 wrestlers and Northern Iowa brought 8, and both teams will compete for top-10 positioning.
