IOWA CITY, Iowa -- A confident University of Iowa wrestling team seeks its 36th Big Ten Conference Tournament team title Saturday and Sunday with Carver-Hawkeye Arena hosting the event for the first time since 2005.

Four Hawkeyes secured a No. 2 pre-seed: junior Thomas Gilman at 125 pounds, junior Cory Clark at 133, sophomore Brandon Sorenson at 149, and junior Alex Meyer at 174. Gilman and Sorensen finished runner-up last season when the championship was held in Columbus, Ohio.

Three more slots in Iowa’s lineup are seeded third: junior Sammy Brooks at 184, senior Nathan Burak at 197, and freshman Sam Stoll at 285.
