Hawkeye seniors Ty Eustice (149) and Paul Bradley (184) are two of the six returning champions. Sophomore Mark Perry won the 165-pound title last season, and will have to dethrone 2004 174-pound champion Jake Herbert of Northwestern to earn his second individual title. While the competition level at each weight class is expected to be high, two of the more hotly contested weights will be 157 and 184 pounds. At both weights, four of the top five rated wrestlers are expected to compete. 2004 MIDLANDS REVIEW Iowa crowned three individual champions and scored 119.0 points en route to a runner-up finish at the 2004 Midlands Championships. Illinois scored 130.5 points to win its second straight team title. Winning titles for the Hawkeyes were top-seeds Ty Eustice (149) and Paul Bradley (184), and third-seeded Mark Perry (165). Eustice defeated thirdseed James Woodall of Penn State, 6-5, in the finals. Perry, a redshirt freshman, scored a 6-4 decision over fourth-seed Travis Paulson of Iowa State in the finals. Bradley recorded his 45th career victory with a 4-2 decision over third-seed Kurt Backes of Iowa State in the finals. In the consolation bracket, Hawkeye junior Lucas Magnani (125) placed fourth and freshman Alex Tsirtsis (141) placed sixth. Magnani lost a 13-5 major decision to second-seed Efren Ceballos of Cal State Bakersfield in the third-place match. Tsirtsis, who was the sixth-seed, lost a 6-4 decision to third-seed and unattached competitor Max Meltzer in the fifth-place match. Freshman Matt Fields placed seventh at heavyweight and junior Joe Johnston placed eighth at 157. Fields defeated Paul Weibel of Lehigh, 13-6, in the placing match, while Johnston lost a 12-1 major decision to Jeremiah Jarvis of the Schultz Wrestling Club.

Iowa led the nation in home dual meet attendance last season, posting a season average of 5,073 fans per home dual. Oklahoma State was second (4,542) and Lehigh third (2,488). The Hawkeye s ability to draw crowds on the road has helped 10 schools set dual attendance records. In 2004-05, Cal Davis (5,150) and Illinois (3,573) set records when they hosted the Hawkeyes. The other eight schools are Minnesota (15,646-2002), Iowa State (14,507-1982), Penn State (11,245-1996), Northern Iowa (10,200-1976), North Dakota State (6,307-1992), Pennsylvania (5,109-2002), Wisconsin (4,800-1978) and Cleveland State (3,620-1987). Iowa has been a part of the 35 largest recorded dual meet crowds, helping to set the national attendance record 10 times. The current attendance record of 15,646 was set February 1, 2002, when Iowa wrestled at Minnesota. Thirty-two of the top 35 matchups were with intra-state rival Iowa State. The Hawkeyes have also wrestled in front of 44 of the 47 recorded dual crowds over 10,000. In 2004-05, Iowa competed in 11 of the top 20 reported dual crowds, hosting six (Iowa State, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Virginia Tech, Indiana and Arizona State) and visiting for five (Oklahoma State, Cal-Davis, Illinois, Penn State and Northern Iowa). CHAMPIONSHIP EXPERIENCE The Hawkeye wrestling staff of Jim Zalesky, Troy Steiner, Tim Hartung, Luke Eustice and Mike Zadick earned a total of six NCAA titles, 10 Big Ten titles and 15 all-america honors. Their combined college career wrestling record is 596-90-1 (.881), including four undefeated seasons. NEXT COMPETITION Iowa (3-0) will host top-ranked and defending NCAA Champion Oklahoma State (3-0) January 7 at 7:30 p.m. in Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The Hawkeyes will try to regain the national dual meet attendance record at the dual. The current national attendance record of 15,646 was set February 1, 2002, when Iowa wrestled at Minnesota.
