If numbers are your thing, then the University of Iowa's average dual attendance figures will leave you in awe. The Hawkeyes averaged over 14,000 per home dual for the second year in a row, and have averaged over 10,000 during five of the past seven seasons (not including the 2021 COVID year where fans weren't allowed).

For every Greg Randall, there is Mitch Kelly. For every Spencer Lee, there is Joe Kelly.

The third time’s a charm when it comes to the relationship between Real Woods and the University of Iowa wrestling program.

Top-ranked Penn State took down #2 Iowa 23-14 on Friday night in front of a sellout crowd at the Bryce Jordan Center, where the Nittany Lions used a pin from Roman Bravo-Young at 133 and closed the dual with four consecutive victories to rally back against the Hawkeyes.

Three-time NCAA 125-pound champion Spencer Lee seemed perplexed. He shrugged his shoulders and flashed a curious eye roll as a University of Iowa sports information staffer announced that his 38-second pin against Liam Cronin of Nebraska on Jan. 19 was his 27th career first-period fall and the third-fastest of his career.

It is a simple, yet challenging plan for University of Iowa senior Tony Cassioppi:

Iowa kicks off its B1G schedule with a pair of weekend duals. The Hawkeyes face Illinois at home on Friday, January 6 at 7 p.m. CT then hit the road for a dual at Purdue on Sunday, January 8 at 1 p.m.

First-semester mat exams have concluded and second-ranked Iowa boasts a 7-0 record, despite fielding seven different dual lineups that featured 20 different Hawkeyes.

It appears that Spencer Lee will compete for the second time this season after the University of Iowa released 29 wrestlers that will compete at the Soldier Salute on December 29-30 in Coralville. Lee made his season debut with a 16-5 major decision over Corey Cabanban during the Iowa State dual on December 4. The Hawkeye senior is seeking his fourth NCAA championship this season.Also included are national place winners Real Woods, Jacob Warner, and Anthony Cassioppi.The full list has 16 attached and 13 unattached wrestlers. Drake Ayala, who replaced Lee last season, will compete unattached.

Drake Ayala is set to make his return to competition this weekend.
