Let's take a quick trip down memory lane to start this mailbag.
The state wrestling tournament is approaching 100 years, at least under the direction of the Iowa High School Athletic Association. The history is spread all over, including at the state's three major Division I wrestling programs.
Iowa State's Kevin Dresser was a two-time state champ for Humboldt, in 1980-81. He posted a 112-11-1 career record before becoming a Hawkeye. Iowa's Tom Brands, from Sheldon, won state in 1986 and finished second in 1985. Northern Iowa's Doug Schwab won in 1996 and twice took second, in 1993 and 1995, while wrestling at Osage.
