A look at Saturday’s Class 3A Iowa high school boys’ state wrestling finals. A district loss was the perfect motivator for Iowa City High’s Cale Seaton to return to form. A state championship form.
A long time ago and far, far away from the Iowa high school state wrestling tournament, Union Community’s star 126-pounder Jace Hedeman doubted himself. Not always, but just enough to prompt the two-time and counting state champion to create an internal script that vanquished any of those concerns, and build a foundation of unshakable confidence.

Iowa City High’s Polyak capped off a brilliant prep career by defending his title in the 200-yard individual medley, winning in 1:46.35, five seconds ahead of runner-up Dylan Nelson of West Des Moines Valley. He backed that up by taking the 100 breaststroke title in 53.42 seconds. In most years, that performance would have likely been worthy of the swimmer of the meet honor, but that went to his I-Fly club teammate Owen Chiles of Pleasant Valley, who set state records in winning the 100 freestyle and 100 backstroke.
Linn-Mar, fresh off a big win at last week's district meet, enters the Iowa high school boys’ state swim meet at No. 4 in the power rankings. Defending champion Waukee is ranked first, just ahead of West Des Moines Valley and Bettendorf.
