UNI Notes: Panthers’ weight management 'an issue,' records set on track
CEDAR FALLS — Northern Iowa learned some valuable lessons during the UNI Open wrestling tournament.
According to head wrestling coach Doug Schwab, the Panthers struggled with weight management leading up to and during the event.
“What that does is your energy is not quite the same, your focus is not quite the same, your recovery is not quite the same,” Schwab said. “In a way, you are giving a guy maybe a few points. Then, when the margins are really small, that makes it really, really hard to win. Hopefully, some of these guys…take to heart some of these lessons that are learned.”
