About

Wrestling is as much a part of winter in Iowa as is snow and cold. Dreams of state championships begin in elementary school and, since 1972, come to fruition or heartbreakingly fall short at an arena in Des Moines in February or March. The tournament finals sell out, and individuals and teams carve their names on the sports history tree each year. Some champions were deaf, some were amputees, but all earn the respect of thousands for their work ethic a hallmark of the states populace. Is this heaven? No, its better than that. Its high school wrestling in Iowa!
