DES MOINES — The Fort Madison High School boys wrestling team sent their beloved coach, Ryan Smith, out on a positive note Saturday night at the state tournament at Wells
Cedar Rapids Jefferson’s wrestling program will be celebrated again Saturday during the 50th J-Hawk Invitational. The event that began in 1975 has been a local staple of regular-season wrestling tournaments.
Linn-Mar’s Grant Kress has dedicated his time to wrestling, working on his own skills and improving by helping with the program’s youth club. The Lions’ second-ranked 157-pounder opened the season with a pin, but No. 13 Dubuque Hempstead topped No. 5 Linn-Mar, 37-36, on tiebreak criteria.
