DECORAH, Iowa — The University of Iowa wrestling team opened the 2016-17 season winning 12 titles at the Luther Open on Saturday. Iowa won every bracket but 285 in the Elite Division and crowned three more champions in the Silver (freshman) Division.
Thomas Gilman pinned his way through the 125-pound Elite bracket, and Kaleb Young recorded four first-period falls to win the 165-pound Silver division.
Iowa totaled 32 pins and scored bonus points in 67 matches.
In what amounted to a pseudo wrestle-off, seven championship matches featured a pair of Hawkeyes. Gilman pinned Perez Perez in 5:29 in the 125-pound finals; Cory Clark defeated Phillip Laux, 4-1, at 133; Topher Carton defeated Paul Glynn, 4-2, at 141; Brandon Sorensen earned a 16-5 major decision against Jeren Glosser at 149; Michael Kemerer won by forfeit against Logan McQuillen at 157; Joey Gunther defeated Jeremiah Moody, 10-4, at 165, and Cash Wilcke defeated Mitch Bowman, 3-2, at 197.
Alex Meyer and Sammy Brooks added titles at 174 and 184, respectively. Steven Holloway placed runner-up at 285. Carter Happel and Matt Malcom won titles for the second consecutive weekend. Happel recorded two falls and two technical falls to win the 141-pound Silver bracket, and Malcom was 4-0 at 157 pounds.
Iowa returns to the mat Friday, Nov. 18, hosting Cornell College and Iowa Central at the Iowa City Duals. Competition begins at 9 a.m. (CT) on Mediacom Mat at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Tickets are $12 for adults and $8 for youth 18-and-younger. UI students and children five-years old and younger are admitted free to all home wrestling events.
