(More customer reviews)I have been involved in Iowa wrestling since the 1940's as a competitor, as A spectator, and as a person that just loves the sport.
I cannot think of one thing that I remember about Iowa Wrestling that is not in this book. This book is 620 pages of great information.
I have a cousin that placed 2nd. in the Iowa High School State Tournament. I was in the 1952 State High school Wrestling Tournament. I didn't win but the top two wrestlers in my weight were listed. My other cousin's son won the State Tournament Twice in the early 70's and it is all in there.
This book is absolutely fantastic and loaded with great information. I am glad to have this book and would recommend it to anyone that loves Iowa Wrestling. If something happened in Iowa Wrestling it is in this book.

Wrestling is as much a part of winter in Iowa as is snow and cold. Dreams of state championships begin in elementary school and, since 1972, come to fruition - or heart-breakingly fall short - at an arena in Des Moines in February or March. In 2011, the tournament finals sold out for the 24th consecutive year. Individuals and teams carve their names on the sport's history tree each year. Some champions were blind, some were deaf, some were amputees but all earn the respect of thousands for their work ethic - a hallmark of the state's pupulace. Is this heaven? No, it's better than that. It's high school wrestling in Iowa!
