RECAP: Lee, Leydecker make World Team - lead Iowa at Final X

[Tanner Lafever]

My full recap from Friday's action in Newark:

Lee, Leydecker make World Team - lead Iowa wrestlers at Final X - On3

In Spencer Lee and Everest Leydecker, Iowa wrestling will now have representation on the men's and women's World/Olympic Team(s) for the third consecutive year.

Meanwhile, Austin DeSanto and Reese Larramendy have made the first Senior National Team of their careers - the latter with the added bonus of a U23 World Team spot this October.

You forgot Buchanan

Kilty re-signed with Hawks. Has been world team, a second away from world team this year and the likely 28 Olympics rep. Great to get her to continue at hwwc.

You forgot Buchanan

Buchanan had technically already made the Senior National Team by virtue of wrestling for the World Team Spot - thus his omission.

But yes, he has also made his first team - and Blades/Welker/Woods have made it as well, regardless of their Final X series outcome(s) later this summer.

Does Woods count?

Does Woods count?

Count for what?

As a Hawkeye?

Heck yeah he does - at least in this writer’s opinion.

He was so much fun to watch. If you happened to blink when he went for a single leg attack, you likely missed it, he was lightening fast.
