The United States team competing at the World Championships will have a distinct Iowa flavor -- again.
The World Team Trials were held this past weekend in Madison, WI, a two-day event to determine the eight men and eight women who will compete for the United States at the World Championships in Las Vegas this September. Two former Iowa wrestlers, Tony Ramos and Brent Metcalf, were favored to make the team and that's exactly what happened, with Ramos taking the first matches in the best-of-3 finals at 57 KG on Saturday and Metcalf doing the same at 65 KG on Sunday.
