Good start for Hawks
Iowa's wrestling team got off to a roaring start Friday morning when Charlie Falck avenged a 2007 NCAA loss to Tanner Gardner of Stanford in the quarterfinals.
Falck had lost to Gardner in both of their previous meetings, including by pin in this tournament last year. But the Hawkeye junior beat Gardner, 5-4, on takedown with 45 seconds left.
Joe Slaton also won, beating ISU's NIck Fanthorpe, 2-1, in overtime at 133.
