Here’s a look at the schedule, TV and streaming guide and Iowa info for the 2024 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships.
Yonger Bastida scored bonus points in three of his four wins at the Big 12s, helping Iowa State win the team title for the first time since 2009. Now he sets his sights on the national tournament, where he’s ISU’s highest seed (No. 2) and poised to make a big run for the first time since attaining All-America honors at 197 in 2022.
Iowa, Iowa State, UNI and former Iowa preps have compelling stories that could play out at the NCAA Division I Wrestlin Championships this week at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Mo.
Iowa State won first league title since 2009 with 2 champions and UNI placed fifth in 2 champs
University of Northern Iowa’s Cael Happel didn’t have a win in his first two Big 12 Championships appearances. Happel reversed the trend by winning his first three bouts Saturday to reach the 141-pound finals at BOK Center in Tulsa, Okla.
Iowa State went 14-3 in the opening session of the Big 12 Championships Saturday at BOK Center in Tulsa, Okla. The Cyclones have seven semifinalists with six earning automatic NCAA berths. UNI has four semifinalists and was fourth in the team standings.
Fifth-ranked Iowa State is, on paper, considered the favorite for the Big 12 wrestling championship along with No. 4 Oklahoma State. Tenth-ranked Missouri lurks close behind, as well, which should make for a tightly contested conference meet.
A big weekend is ahead for wrestling fans in the state of Iowa. The National Collegiate Women's Wrestling Championships come to Cedar Rapids and the Iowa, Iowa State and Northern Iowa men compete in their respective conference tournaments. We preview them all on this week’s episode of the Pinning Combination podcast.
Iowa State’s Anthony Echemendia (141) and Casey Swiderski at 149 and Northern Iowa 184-pounder Parker Keckeisen earned No. 1 seeds for the Big 12 Wrestling Championships this weekend at Tulsa, Okla.
The road to the NCAA Division III national tournament is tough for midwest programs compared to other regions in the country. Pre-seeds have been released for the Big Ten and Big 12 conference tournaments. Grand View men’s team wins 12th NAIA title. Upper Iowa advance two to nationals in the Wrestling Weekend That Was.
It’s all about the postseason now on the Pinning Combination podcast, a show about all things wrestling in Iowa with Hall of Fame coach Dick Briggs. This week’s episode has takeaways from Iowa’s win over Oklahoma State and Iowa State and UNI’s wins over Missouri and looks ahead to their respective conference tournaments.
Spencer Lee dominated the Pan-Ams, the Iowa men’s team capped the regular season with one of its best performances, UNI and Iowa State ended dual competition with wins and Iowa and North Central qualified 15 each for the NCWWC tournament during the Wrestling Weekend That Was.
To call Yonger Bastida’s win by major decision, 13-4, a mere high point of fifth-ranked Iowa State’s 41-3 pummeling of short-handed and No. 7 Missouri would be a gross understatement.
