Pretty sure ISU has a great shot of snagging Moreno's younger brother too in a few years. Kid is only a soph. this season at Urbandale but was 37-0 at 140lbs heading into the tourney and has falls in his first 2 matches. 1:01 in the first match and 2:16 in the second. If I remember correctly he only lost 1 match as a freshman.
The Meeks kid is going to be a huge recruit. His older brother is going to Nebraska. He is a sophmore and has yet to be beat in High School. If we are able to snag on to him it would be great.
I know there was some big disapointment that we didnt get Knight at ISU. But we recruited that vicinity of weights very well l think the Gadson pin showed up that Kj and crew knew what they were doing.

Voelker won 2-0 and is on to the finals
Older Moreno won and is the finals, his younger brother lost pretty handily in the semis.
Yes, Riley won and no, they have not had a prior meeting that I'm aware of. Based on what I heard of today's match, Gadson will need to pick it up a notch. It didn't sound like he was very offensive.
I'm just wondering, but is the Well really a good venue for this tournament? Maybe it's just the nostalgia of finding your way down from the balcony to the floor level and running all over hell's half acre to find the mat to watch your wrestlers and then yelling down there, but it seems like it would be a ***** to do that at the Well.
EDIT: This is knowing full well that it's bigger, newer, and in general "nicer." I just don't think it would be as fun as a spectator as Vets.

Without having looked myself, I don't know if the IHSAA website does or not. I am thinking, though, that they have for other champ nights recently.
i miss vets. i graduated 96, just remember chasing all of our/conf matches down on the floor in high school. i have been to the Well for state wrestling but it sucks. i said i was going to go this year to a couple of sessions but then decided i didn't want to sit in the same seat for more than 3 hours. BRING BACK THE VET!
