Here is a closer look at Iowa high school state wrestling tournament that begins Thursday at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.

The top-ranked pound-for-pound wrestler in the Class of 2002, Kylie Welker, was the first signee for the Iowa women’s wrestling program. Soon after, Bettendorf’s Ella Schmit and Wyoming Seminary Prep’s (Pa.) Reese Larramendy followed, showing the talent is already flocking to the Iowa program.

Iowa State Coach Kevin Dresser and Purdue Coach Tony Ersland were both two-time state champions for Humboldt before continuing their wrestling careers as Iowa Hawkeyes and then eventually as college coaches. They brought their NCAA Division I programs to Humboldt Sunday for a dual that the Cyclones won, 23-13.

The Hawks have won five of the last six team titles in state events. They have picked up where they left off after a sweep of traditional and dual crowns last season. Also, Alburnett claimed a tournament title Saturday and Battle of Waterloo is set.

University of Northern Iowa Coach Doug Schwab had a better feeling after this year’s UNI Open. Of course, three champs and six finalists help. Iowa’s Cullen Schriever and Patrick Kennedy also earn titles and much more.
