Honors

With a second straight NCAA title, head wrestling coach Tom Brands was named Big Ten Coach of the Year.

And his wrestlers received some acknowledgement as well:

Brent Metcalf was named the Big Ten Championships Outstanding Wrestler.

All-Americans included Metcalf, Daniel Dennis, Ryan Morningstar, Phil Keddy and Dan Erekson.

Although the NCAA Championships wasn't a fairy tale ending for Jay Borschel or Brent Metcalf, both were among the nine wrestlers in the Iowa program to be named Academic Big Ten Honorees this week.
The others included:
Senior Nick Kolegraff
Sophomore J.J. Krutsinger
Junior Dan LeClere
Senior T.H. Leet
Sophomore Joe Moore
Sophomore Blake Rasing
Sophomore Ethan Sebert
