Iowa suffered consecutive losses for the first time since 2018, Iowa State beat UNI, Coe won the Bremner Cup dual against Cornell, Wartburg won the American Rivers Conference again and Tanner Sloan posted a notable win during the Wrestling Weekend That Was.
Top-ranked Penn State won eight matches, including five with bonus points, dominating No. 3 Iowa, 29-6, Friday night at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Penn State Coach Cael Sanderson earned his 200th career dual win with the Nittany Lions.
Zach Glazier was destined to be a wrestler. The sport is in his blood with a father who wrestled in college and was a high school coach when Glazier was born. His mother was an avid wrestling fan and supporter.
