Ummmm, Sure.
First, MO is not a former Hawk...he was barely a Hawk.
And Mikey is probably wrestling for another club (I wonder why).

So no, we don't get to claim them anymore.

Still a former Hawk. Like Real Woods. I’ll keep rooting for Caliendo, you do you. Mo was actually a member of HWC too. I agree his time is short, I probably wouldn’t claim him. Caliendo gave us 3 years….

I am perfectly fine claiming both of them still to keep tabs on, especially in an announcement like this. This idea of guys being dead to us as soon as they leave the program is absolutely asinine

No offense, why TF are we listing Caliendo and MO?
Click to expand...
Because I cover past/present/future Iowa wrestlers and those affiliated with the two RTCs…

Caliendo gave the men’s program three amazing years and graduated as a Hawkeye. So, I’m going to cover his career as a post-grad - wherever that may be.

As for Endene, that’s a different story. Which is why I put an * next to his name.

Preseeds have Desanto #1 and Suriano 2.
Kenedy 1 and Karchla 2
Buchannan 1 and Mo 3
Peterson is a 4 Richards 1, Peterson might take it all.
Cali a 2 with Monday 1 but beating Monday should be walk in park after taking down JB.

Spencer is in his girlfriend's corner coaching. She was down 1-0 at the break but stormed back to win 14-2 against the six seed. She is a good addition to the IWWC.

Figueroa lost in the quarters to a former U23 World champ, but hits a couple big 4pt moves to win her first consi bout. She’ll need three more wins to take 3rd and earn a spot at WTT.

Kilty picks up a third-consecutive TF to reach the 62kg final - hasn’t allowed a point yet.

Brooks picks up a pair of decisions to reach the final at 55kg - which secures her spot at WTT in April.

Whiting (53kg) lost her first match and was eliminated. Williams lost 4-2 in the 57kg quarters, and will need to wrestle through the consis to take 3rd.

Final Women’s Freestyle results:

Figueroa - 4th at 50kg (5-2 record)
Whiting - DNP at 53kg (0-1)
Brooks - 2nd at 55kg (2-1)
Williams - DNP at 57kg (1-2)
Kilty - 1st at 62kg (4-0)

Among the takeaways:
– Brooks locks up her WTT spot
- Kilty was dominant, outscoring her opponents by a margin of 40-4 (the lone points against her coming via a questionable 4pt call on the edge in her final)
- Figueroa had been out of competition for 19 months before this weekend while recovering from a torn ACL (and hadn’t competed for three years prior to that brief cameo when she got hurt).

She nearly won four straight in the consis to earn a WTT spot - including the last two matches vs top-four US Open placers. In the third place bout, she came back to take a 7-7 lead on criteria w/ 0:22 left, but surrendered the winning takedown off the following whistle. Still, a heckuva showing.
