IOWA CITY, Iowa — University of Iowa All-American and Olympian Mike Zadick is a member of the 2015 Glen Brand Wrestling Hall of Fame class. Zadick is joined by four other individuals — Rich Binek, Mike Mann, Rick Caldwell, and Fred Cooper — and the 1997 University of Iowa wrestling team. The National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum announced the inductees Tuesday.
Zadick was a three-time All-American from 2000-02 and won the 149-pound Big Ten title in 2002. He won a silver medal at the 2006 World Championships and represented the United States at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. He was also a member of the 2007 and 2010 World Championship teams, and was on the Iowa staff when the Hawkeyes won NCAA titles from 2008-10.

The 1997 University of Iowa wrestling team — the third team ever inducted into the Glen Brand Hall of Fame — scored a tournament-record 170 points in head coach Dan Gable’s final season. The Hawkeyes won their 17th team title, crowning five NCAA champions and eight All-Americans.
The Glen Brand Wrestling Hall of Fame of Iowa was established in 2002 to honor those who have made an impact on the sport on a national level, or who have done extraordinary work in the State of Iowa. The hall recognizes native-born Iowans, and those who achieved their fame while wrestling or coaching for an Iowa school.
