TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE
NOTABLE
- Iowa State is No. 6 in this week's NWCA Coaches Poll. The Cyclones have been ranked in the top 10 in each of the six polls this season.
- The Cyclones have won 18 of their last 19 duals dating back to last season. ISU is outscoring opponents 187-43 in duals this year.
- Freshman Paniro Johnson has put the college wrestling world on notice with a pair of top 6 wins already this season (No. 2 Austin Gomez, Wisc.; No. 6 Max Murin, Iowa). Opportunity for another awaits against Cornell's three-time defending NCAA Champion No. 1 Yianni Diakomihalis.
- No. 3 David Carr has been battle tested in his new weight class early this season. The senior is 7-0 on the year and already holds victories over Wisconsin's No. 5 Dean Hamiti, Princeton's No. 1 (157) Quincy Monday and Iowa's No. 13 Patrick Kennedy.
- Yonger Bastida has risen to No. 2 in the rankings since his most recent outing two weeks ago when he defeated Iowa's then-No. 2 and returning NCAA finalist Jacob Warner, 4-3. He was named Big 12 Wrestler of the Week after the victory.
- Cyclone freshmen have made an early impact in the Iowa State lineup. Four different freshmen have seen mat time in ISU's first six duals and have posted a combined dual record of 11-3.
- Eight of Iowa State's dual opponents this season are ranked in the latest NWCA poll, including two in the top five and six inside the top 15.
