College Wrestling: Five Hawkeyes Earn All-America Status

Detroit — University of Iowa wrestlers Jacob Warner, Austin DeSanto, Alex Marinelli, Michael Kemerer and Tony Cassioppi finished their respective 2022 NCAA tournaments with All-America honors Saturday at Little Caesars Arena.

Warner was the runner up at 197, falling 3-2 to Penn State’s Max Dean.

DeSanto placed third at 133. Kemerer placed fourth at 174. Marinelli placed fifth at 165 and Cassioppi placed seventh at 285.

That quartet went 5-2 in the medal round to move Iowa into third place in the team race.

Iowa has had at least five All-Americans in nine straight seasons and 14 times in head coach Tom Brands’ 16 years.

The Hawkeyes secured a team trophy (fourth or better) for the 13th time in the last 14 NCAA Championships.
