Metcalf back on the mat

Iowa's Brent Metcalf was back on the mat this weekend at the freestyle U.S. Nationals in Las Vegas last night.

He's been back on the mats since the day he lost in the finals at the NCAA Wrestling Championships though. I talked to Tom Brands on the phone earlier this week and he told me that he's been seeing him in the practice room every day. I should be attending practice on Tuesday, so we'll see if I can spot any new techniques he's trying out.

Anyways, unfortunately instead of regaining his dominating stud persona, Metcalf ended up losing.

He was the 7th seed at 145.5. A former Iowa State NCAA Champion, Trent Paulson took the victory.

But keep your heads up, Hawkeye fans. This is freestyle. Metcalf will be back next year. And he's motivated.

Check back soon for information on what exactly freestyle wrestling is...
