HAWkEYE WRESTLINg HISTORYNo team has dominated collegiate wrestling like the Iowa Hawkeyes since the mid 1970s. Iowa captured nine straight NCAA titles from 1978-86 and has won 20 of the last 33. During that span Iowa boasts 212 all-Americans and 60 individual champions. Below are capsule summaries of Iowa’s 20 NCAA championship seasons.

1975Iowa posted an undefeated dual season (17-0-1), set a school mark for wins and won its first NCAA title. That team had a school-record five all-Americans and national champs in Chuck Yagla and Dan Holm. The squad had four dual shutouts.

1976Iowa won its second straight NCAA title and captured 14 of 15 duals. A school-record three Hawkeyes (Brad Smith, Chuck Yagla and Chris Campbell) won NCAA titles. Yagla won his second straight title and was the meet’s Outstanding Wrestler. Iowa won the title by almost 40 points and amassed a national record 123 1/4 points.

1978The Hawkeyes started their nine-year string of national championships and were 15-1 in duals. Iowa’s one-half point margin of victory at the NCAA meet gave the Hawkeyes their third title in four years. This team was the first in college history to win the national championship without an individual champion.

1979Coach Dan Gable’s first undefeated and untied (19-0-0) team included NCAA champs Bruce Kinseth and Randy Lewis. Kinseth, who had a school-record 23 pins, was named Outstanding Wrestler at the NCAA Meet. He pinned all four opponents at Big Tens and all five at nationals.

1980Iowa won its third straight national title with a school-record eight all-Americans, including NCAA champions Randy Lewis (134) and Ed Banach (177). A 34-match dual winning streak was snapped by Cal-Poly, 27-12.

1981The winningest team (21-1) in Iowa annals boasted nine all-Americans and seven Big Ten champs. Brothers Ed and Lou Banach won NCAA titles. The 10-man lineup had an overall record of 302-45-2. Iowa won the NCAA title by 29 1/2 points.

1982Three NCAA champions -- Barry Davis, Jim Zalesky and Pete Bush -- paced the undefeated (16-0-1) national titlists. Davis set the Iowa season mark for wins with 46. The Hawkeyes had eight all-Americans and piled up a record 131 3/4 points at the NCAAs.

1983Iowa set a Big Ten record with nine league champs, compiled a 17-1 dual record and won a sixth consecutive NCAA crown. Iowa had nine all-Americans, a tournament record. Ed Banach won his third NCAA title in four years. Carver-Hawkeye Arena opened its doors with a 35-7 victory over Oklahoma.

1984The Hawkeyes were 16-1 in duals and won both NCAA and Big Ten titles. Jim Zalesky, named Outstanding Wrestler at the NCAAs, posted his second straight undefeated campaign and closed his career with 89 straight wins. Five Hawkeyes made the national championship match.

1985Gable’s second perfect season record (18-0-0) was accomplished with nine all-Americans and eight Big Ten champions. Davis, who won his third NCAA title, earned Outstanding Wrestler. For the second year in a row, five Hawkeyes wrestled in NCAA title matches.

1986The Hawkeyes’ record-tying ninth straight national team title was a record-shattering performance. Iowa set all-time NCAA records for points scored (158), margin of victory (73.25) and national champs (five)! Marty Kistler was the Hawkeyes’ third straight NCAA Outstanding Wrestler award winner. Six wrestlers won at least 30 matches. The ninth straight NCAA championship tied the all-time record for consecutive titles.

1991The Hawkeyes regained the national title that had eluded them since 1986, crowning nine all-Americans at the NCAA meet in Iowa City. Tom Brands (134) won his second straight title and was joined on the victory stand by Mark Reiland (167). Tom Brands ended the year with a perfect 45-0 record. Iowa’s team total of 157 was just one shy of the NCAA record, set by Iowa in 1986. The Hawkeyes won their 18th straight Big Ten title.

1992Gable’s third perfect season (16-0-0) was accomplished by nine all-Americans, including NCAA champs Terry Brands, Tom Brands, and Troy Steiner. Tom Brands won his third consecutive NCAA title and was named Outstanding Wrestler. The Hawkeyes won their 19th straight Big Ten crown (6 champs) and second straight NCAA title. The Iowa-Iowa State dual meet (a 29-8 Iowa victory) drew an NCAA record 15,291 fans in Iowa City.

1993Iowa rebounded from a midseason slump to win a third straight NCAA title and 20th consecutive Big Ten title. The Hawkeyes fell from the top of the Amateur Wrestling News poll with a 24-20 loss to Nebraska at the National Duals in Lincoln, NE, in late January, but regrouped to go 8-0 down the stretch. Seven Hawkeyes earned all-American honors, headlined by national champs Lincoln McIlravy and Terry Steiner. Steiner was named Outstanding Wrestler at the NCAA Meet, and his brother Troy was selected Big Ten Athlete of the Year. Gable was named Big Ten Coach of the Year for the first time.

1995The Hawkeyes won their 15th NCAA title and 22nd consecutive Big Ten title while posting an undefeated dual meet record (14-0). Nine Hawkeyes were named to the all-America team for the sixth time in school history. The all-Americans were Ray Brinzer, Mark Ironside, Jeff McGinness, Lincoln McIlravy, Mike Mena, Matt Nerem, Joel Sharratt, Daryl Weber and Bill Zadick.

1996Iowa finished its second consecutive dual meet season undefeated, posting a 17-0 record. The Hawkeyes won their 23rd consecutive Big Ten title and their 16th national title. Gable was named Big Ten Co-Coach of the Year and sophomore Mark Ironside was selected Big Ten Wrestler of the Year. Seniors Daryl Weber and Bill Zadick and sophomore Joe Williams all won their first NCAA titles. Seven Hawkeyes earned all-American honors, including Lee Fullhart, Ironside, Mike Mena, Mike Uker, Weber, Williams and Zadick.

1997The Hawkeyes scored an NCAA record 170 team points en route to their 17th national title in Dan Gable’s final season at Iowa head coach. Iowa crowned five national champions (Jessie Whitmer, Mark Ironside, Lincoln McIlravy, Joe Williams and Lee Fullhart), and eight all-Americans. McIlravy was named Outstanding Wrestler of the NCAA Championships. The Hawkeyes also won their 24th consecutive Big Ten title, and Ironside was named Big Ten Wrestler of the Year for the second consecutive year.

1998Led by head coach Jim Zalesky, the Hawkeyes won their 25th consecutive Big Ten title and their 18th national title. Seniors Mark Ironside, Jeff McGinness and Joe Williams all won Big Ten and NCAA individual titles. Ironside was named Big Ten wrestler of the Year, McGinness was selected Outstanding Wrestler of the Big Ten meet and Williams garnered Outstanding Wrestler honors at the NCAA meet. Junior Lee Fullhart, freshman Eric Juergens and sophomore Wes Hand earned all-America honors.

1999Iowa won their eighth NCAA title in the 1990’s and their 19th overall at an exciting national meet in University Park, PA. The Hawkeyes’ two-point victory margin was the closest in 20 years. Sophomores Doug Schwab and T.J. Williams each won their first national titles, while sophomore Eric Juergens and seniors Lee Fullhart and Jamie Heidt earned all-American honors. Heidt, Schwab and Williams all won Big Ten titles.

2000The Hawkeyes won seven consecutive matches, scoring 23 1/2 points, in the consolation round to come from behind and win their sixth consecutive NCAA Championship in St. Louis, MO. Iowa crowned one individual national champion in junior 133-pounder Eric Juergens, while juniors Jody Strittmatter, Doug Schwab and T.J. Williams, sophomore Mike Zadick and senior Wes Hand earned all-America honors. The Hawkeyes went 18-0 in duals, and recaptured the conference team title. Big Ten individual champs were Strittmatter, Juergens, Schwab and Williams.

Through a hard work ethic and understanding the importance of constantly striving to reach goals, I have been able to reach a level of success that may have not been possible for me to obtain without the knowledge and guidance I received from the Iowa wrestling program. Many thanks to Dan Gable, the late Gary Kurdelmeier, my Iowa teammates and the Hawkeye wrestling fans.”

The successes I enjoyed as an Iowa wrestler have impacted every aspect of my life today. I am forever grateful to Gary Kurdelmeier, Dan Gable and the Iowa Hawkeye fans.”

MIkE DEANNA, Sales Manager with Scaletta Development Corporation | Four-time Big Ten Champion, four-time NCAA all-American, Hawkeye letterwinner from 1977-81

“Success in athletics comes with planning, hard work and discipline. Iowa wrestling has been at the top because they work the hardest, they are disciplined and they plan to succeed. As a husband, a father and an investment representative, all of those traits help me to reach my goals on a daily basis. I am very grateful for the opportunities given to me in my years as a Hawkeye, and I am very happy that the tradition continues today.”

MARk SINDLINgER, Investment Representative with Edward Jones | Two-time all-American and two-time Big Ten Champion at heavyweight, letterwinner from 1985-88 with the wrestling team and 1983-86 with the football team, started at center for the Hawkeyes for three seasons (1984-86), two-time honorable mention all-Big Ten pick by UPI and AP in football

“To be successful in wrestling, you must have a strong desire, good work ethic and be surrounded by good people with similar goals. The Iowa wrestling room is the ideal setting for this success. The same principles apply to the business world. Without hard work and good people, you will have a tough time succeeding in the business world. The Iowa wrestling program gave me the background and contacts to be successful on and off the mat.”

MARk REILAND, M.R.S. Appraisals L.C. and Head Wrestling Coach at Iowa City West High School | NCAA Champion at 167 pounds in 1991, two-time all-American, letterwinner from 1989-92

“While at the University of Iowa I learned what it means to compete - to step onto the mat and wrestle not just to participate, but to wrestle to win. I learned what it means to be disciplined enough to train in such a way as to maximize the chances for victory. Now as a pastor I see people wrestling with life and death. People who are dealing with all the difficulties that come with life. My job is to equip people to run the race of life to win, not just to compete.”

“The Iowa wrestling program allows young men to reach their individual wrestling goals and be part of a team that has a legitimate shot each year to with the NCAA wrestling tournament. The same principles that allow a wrestler to grow and develop in wrestling apply to life. To grow, one must understand how to accept responsibility and accountability in the pursuit of positive results. To develop, one must realize how to set, prioritize, plan and evaluate goals. I recall fondly the program that helped me learn these principles; principles that apply to my life each day.”

ED BANACH, Student-Athlete Counselor at Iowa State University | Four-time all-American and three-time NCAA Champion, 1984 Olympic gold Medalist, 1983 Big Ten Athlete of the Year, Hawkeye letterwinner in 1980-83.

“My training to be an orthopedist and my current practice responsibilities are often quite demanding, both physically and mentally. The work ethic and discipline I learned participating in the Iowa wrestling program has helped me deal with these demands tremendously. In fact, I don’t know any aspect of my life, including my roles as a husband and father, that has not benefited from the discipline I developed at Iowa.”

MARk MYSNYk, Orthopedic Surgeon and Specialist | Hawkeye letterwinner in 1975-76, 78-79

“Iowa wrestling was and still is very beneficial to me. Before I wrestled at Iowa I was in awe of the program. When I wrestled there I lived it and was in awe of my coaches, teammates, fans and the amount of success that was accomplished. What I learned, and still use everyday of my life, is that a high level success has to come from the heart. Myself, teammates, and coaches were able to achieve the goals that we set out to conquer, not just from hard work and dedication, but from living for success and dying with failure. It wasn’t just a sport, it was life. I owe great gratitude to Tom Brands and Dan Gable for making me successful on and off the mat and for who I am today. I look forward to watching and living many more successful years with Iowa Wrestling.”

MARk IRoNSIDe, owner of Ironside Apparel and Promotions | Four time all-American, two-time NCAA champion, 10th wrestler in Big Ten history to win four conference titles, three-time Big Ten Wrestler of the Year, Hawkeye letterwinner in 1995-98.

“Wrestling for Iowa and Coach Gable taught me significant life lessons, such as hard work, dedication and perseverance. In addition to these tenets, wrestling has instilled in me the ability to read people, whether it be on the mat or in the courtroom. The importance of this skill translates easily from the mat to all facets of the professional/business world. Beyond fulfilling my childhood dream of wrestling for Iowa, I will always be grateful for those life lessons and skills, which I use daily to continue my success off the mat.”

YEARLY RESULTS

Head Coach Gary Kurdelmeier and Assistant Coach Dan Gable, both in their third years at Iowa, were optimistic at the beginning of the 1974-75 season, hoping to defend their Big Ten team title and post a winning dual season. The duo not only accomplished those goals, but added the first NCAA team title in school history and the school’s ninth undefeated season (17-0-1) to their list of accomplishments. The Hawkeyes also set then-school records for most all-Americans (5) and most dual wins (17) in a season. Dan Holm and Chuck Yagla each won their first NCAA individual title.
