On the 100th anniversary of wrestling at the University of Iowa, The Gazette's K.J. Pilcher and J.R. Ogden, and KCRG-TV's John Campbell, are examining the Hawkeyes' program ahead of next weekend's Big Ten Championships in Ann Arbor, Mich.
Today, we look at Dan Gable's impact on the program, how current coaches and wrestlers feel about the tradition, and columnist Mike Hlas explores why wrestling and why Iowa. We pick our Top 10 wrestlers and our Top 5 memorable Hawkeyes.
Tonight at 10 on KCRG, Campbell will feature Brooks Simpson's stunning win over Iowa State's Eric Voelker to secure an Iowa victory in 1988.
Monday through Friday, we count down our Top 5 moments in Iowa wrestling history.
Go to www.GazetteOnline.com and let us know your favorite wrestlers, your Top 10 and your favorite moments. Then join us Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. for a live chat with Gable.
Shirts commemorating 100 seasons of Hawkeye wrestling can be found at http://www.iowawrestlingonlinestore.com/
