West 'misfits' produce success on the mat
Nov. 28, 2011 5:48 pm
IOWA CITY - Jack Hathaway called the members of the Iowa City West wrestling team a bunch of misfits, and head coach Mark Reiland wouldn't want it any other way.
"Usually misfits are pretty darn good in wrestling," Reiland said. "They have the right mentality anyway."
The mindset allows them to mesh into a successful unit on the mat. The Trojans boast five wrestlers with state finals experience, and enter the season ranked second, following a year where they won a Class 3A state duals title and were runners-up at the traditional state meet.
