Wrestlin' Overseas

A couple former Hawkeyes, along with Brent Metcalf traveled to Venezuela last week to compete in international freestyle matches this past weekend.

When I talked with Metcalf yesterday, Amy and I asked him if he was able to "see" anything in Venezuela while he was there. He said some, but then he said that Venezuela has a crime rate of 70-something percent...and it is indeed one of the highest in the world. So not exactly your tourist country.

But while he was there he didn't too bad. Although, you have to remember that Metcalf doesn't settle for anything but the best. The best would probably be to be a world champion, which I'm sure all Hawkeye fans are expecting to one day see.

But in many people's eyes, 3-1 in competition for a bronze medal, isn't too shabby at all.
