Iowa State s season came to a close at the NCAA Championships in Cleveland, Ohio. Jarrett Degen scored three team points and the Cyclones finished tied for 45th. 2. Individually, Degen fell one match short of being an All American. He reached the round of 12, posting a 3-2 record before being eliminated. 3. Degen finished the season with a 23-11 record on the year, leading the team (non-redshirts) in total wins. 11 out of his 23 victories were by bonus-point decision, which included three falls, five technical falls and two major decisions. He also went 10-5 in 15 dual competitions this season. 4. He was tied for second on the team in dual wins (10), second on the team in takedowns (37) and second on the team in total near-fall points (30). 5. To qualify for the NCAA Championships, Degen earned an automatic berth at the Big 12 Championship. There, Degen took third place behind a 3-1 record in Tulsa. 6. At the Big 12 Championship, Iowa State finished seventh with 51 team points. Five ISU grapplers found the podium individually in Ian Parker (5th), Jarrett Degen (3rd), Chase Straw (4th), Dane Pestano (6th) and Marcus Harrington (4th). 7. After winning just one dual in 2016-17, the Cyclones posted a much-improved 8-10 record in 2017-18. ISU went 3-6 against Big 12 opponents. The Cardinal and Gold also put up three wins at home, after not having any in 2016-17. 8. The Cyclone fans poured their support in Hilton Coliseum this season. Iowa State s average attendance of 3,841 was the fourth most since 1997 and the largest since 2009-10. It also ranked the Cyclones No. 6 nationally in dual attendance. 9. Prior to the Big 12 Championship, the conference announced its Academic All-Big 12 selections. Brady Jennings, Chase Straw, Colin Strickland and Hank Swalla all earned first team honors. Ian Parker was a second-team honoree. 10. The Cyclones four first-teamers is the most first team selections since 2005. It s also the most overall selections for ISU since 2012, and the second most since the Big 12 became a conference in 1997. 11. Iowa State s win against North Dakota State was the largest comeback victory in program history. At the intermission, ISU trailed 20-3, but went on to win the final five matches, including a 10-2 major decision in the dual s finale from Marcus Harrington. The Cyclones won on criteria, most matches won, 6-4. 12. Sam Colbray earned Big 12 Wrestler of the Week honors after pinning South Dakota State s Nat Rotert in the third period of the dual against the Jackrabbits. 13. Ian Parker was named Big 12 Wrestler of the Week after beating No. 26 Mike Longo of Oklahoma by 4-2 decision and No. 4 Dean Heil of Oklahoma State by 3-1 decision. 14. Parker s win over the national champ makes him the first Cyclone to defeat a reigning champ since David Zabriskie beat Missouri s Mark Ellis in 2010. Since the weight class change in 1999, only six Iowa State grapplers have accomplished this feat in dual action. 15. Parker and Colbray become just the fifth freshman duo to be named Big 12 Wrestler of the Week in the same year and the first Cyclone pair since Cael Sanderson and Joe Heskett in 1999. 16. At the Virginia Duals, the Cyclones took down Virginia, Old Dominion, Lock Haven and Fresno State. Their only defeat came at the hands of eventual tournament champion, Arizona State. 17. Prior to the defeat of Oregon State, the Cyclones hadn t won a dual since Nov. 26, 2016. ISU also broke a nine-match home losing streak, which dated back to Feb. 14, 2016. 18. In total, 23 wrestlers competed for Iowa State in dual competition this season, which was well over half of the roster. The Cyclones featured 16 different lineups this year. 19. The Cyclones had five wrestlers with seven or more dual wins. Sam Colbray (8), Chase Straw (8), Jarrett Degen (10), Dane Pestano (10) and Marcus Harrington (11) were anchors in the Iowa State lineup. 20. Last year, Iowa State wrestled in 13 duals. They recorded 46 individual wins and 124 total takedowns. Through 13 duals this season, the Cyclones racked up 63 individual wins and 182 takedowns. 21. Iowa State had a trio of freshmen redshirting this year that are performed very well unattached. Marcus Coleman posted a 24-2 record with his only losses coming to UNI s Taylor Lujan. Ryan Leisure was 22-4. After sitting out the first half of the year, Austin Gomez finally got in on the action. He was a perfect 8-0 in three events. The three combined for 11 tournament wins and 25 total bonus-point victories.

Iowa State Wrestling : 33, 65, 69, 70, 72, 73, 77, 87 KEVIN DRESSER Head Coach 1st Season Hometown: Humboldt, Iowa College: Iowa, 86 Wife: Penny Children: Emma, Anna and Jack Twitter: @CYWrestle_KD Kevin Dresser, the 2016 National Wrestling Coaches Association Coach of the Year, enters his first season as the Iowa State head wrestling coach. WRESTLING STAFF The 54-year-old Humboldt, Iowa native, built a national power at Virginia Tech. Inheriting a team that won one dual in the year prior to his arrival, Dresser has led VT to Top 10 finishes at the NCAA Championship the last four years including an all-time best fourth in 2016 and it is currently ranked fifth. Dresser s Hokie teams captured five ACC Wrestling Championships (two tournament and three dual titles) in the last five years. His teams also won 91% of their duals (48-5) the last three years. Iowa State Athletics Director Jamie Pollard aimed high during the search with the goal of returning the Cyclone wrestling program to national prominence. Pollard believes Dresser s championship pedigree as an athlete and coach will be a natural draw to recruits as well as an inspiration to the wrestlers on the current roster. Dresser compiled a 160-51 dual record at Tech and won ACC dual meet titles in 2015-2016-2017 and league tournament championships in 2013 and 2014 (this year s ACC tournament is March 4). He has coached 65 NCAA Championship qualifiers, 20 All-Americans and five ACC Most Outstanding Wrestlers. Dresser was named ACC Coach of the Year the last four years in a row and the state of Virginia s coach of the year five times. Much of the Hokies success can be traced to Dresser and his staff s recruiting acumen. Six of his classes have ranked among the Top 11 nationally, including the 2013 group that was No. 2 according to InterMat. Dresser was named Virginia Tech s coach in 2006-07 after a legendary high school coaching career in Virginia. He led Christiansburg High School (1996-2006) to five state championships and three runner-up finishes in 10 seasons. Before that, he took Grundy High School (1988-96) to eight state titles in as many years. Dresser coached 69 state champions and four of his teams ranked in the Top 10 nationally. As a competitor, he won two state titles and compiled a 112-11-1 record at Humboldt (Iowa) High School before a distinguished collegiate career at Iowa. The two-time All-American and twotime Big Ten champion won the 1986 NCAA Championship (when he won the Mike Howard Award as Iowa s MVW) and placed fourth at the national meet in 1985. The Hawkeyes won national titles in each of his five seasons on the roster. Dresser has been inducted into the Iowa School Athletic Association Wrestling Hall of Fame (2009), the Iowa Wrestling Hall of Fame (2014) and the Roanoke Valley Wrestling Hall of Fame (2015). He was also presented a Lifetime Service Award by the Virginia chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2013. Dresser earned a B.S. degree in general studies from Iowa in 1986. He and his wife, Penny, have three children: Emma, Anna and Jack.
