owa Wrestling's Alex Marinelli Tops Patrick Kennedy, Jesse Ybarra Wrestles Attached At Luther Open
DECORAH The group at Luther College's Regents Center got a treat on Saturday evening as a high-profile Hawkeye-on-Hawkeye wrestling match, between Alex Marinelli and Patrick Kennedy. 사설토토
Marinelli crushed Kennedy, 3-2, in the finals at 165 pounds here at the Luther Open. Marinelli scored a takedown on the edge in the third time frame to win. It was the feature result from the Iowa wrestling project's season-opening contest.
The actual match had the vibe of a serious wrestle-off. The whole rec center halted to watch when they shook hands to wrestle. Kennedy spent a significant part of the match on the assault, peppering Marinelli with shots each of the seven minutes. Marinelli countered with a veteran's clever. It was clear these two wrestle each other in the room regularly.
The match-concluding takedown was vintage Marinelli. With 30 seconds left, he level-changed into a body lock, took Kennedy to the edge and outside-stumbled him for two. Openings like that in matches like these are uncommon. Marinelli made it and gained by it.

The two people dashed to the finals easily, piling up two specialized falls and a pin each, on the whole outscoring their initial six rivals by a consolidated 103-25 all the while. Marinelli is as yet working his direction back into his excellent condition subsequent to spending a large part of the offseason mending from isolated ribs. Kennedy is, indeed, great.
Then, at that point, they put on an act — a low-scoring show, yet a show no different either way. The group gave the two grapplers a hand when the match finished.
The last time two Hawkeyes had a high-profile matchup here was probable the Cory Clark-Thomas Gilman confrontation during the '13-14 season. Clark dominated that game, then, at that point, Gilman won the Midlands Championships two months after the fact, however Clark was eventually picked for the postseason, and completed fifth at the NCAA Championships that March.
We could've seen a comparative to and fro fight unfurl this season had Kennedy won on Saturday. We might in any case see that this season, with different contests on the schedule — most quite the Midlands Championships in late December.
This will be an interesting advancement to follow throughout the following not many months — between Alex Marinelli, a three-time Big Ten champ and double cross All-American, and Patrick Kennedy, who seems ravenous as could be and more than prepared for the huge stage.

Jesse Ybarra wrestled joined
There were many fascinating Iowa wrestling advancements here at the Luther Open, yet maybe the most striking one — outside of the activity at 165 — was Jesse Ybarra wrestling appended at 125 pounds.
Ybarra, the green bean from Arizona, wore Iowa's all-dark singlet, flagging that he won't be redshirting this season. In his initially live contest in a drawn-out period of time, he went 3-0 to take first, outscoring his adversaries 28-10 en route. He scored nine takedowns and permitted none. In the finals, he beat Nathan Rankin from the University of the Ozarks, 7-5.
It makes sense that Ybarra could be the person who may go for the Hawkeyes this season when Spencer Lee doesn't. Lee, the three-time NCAA champion, may not wrestle each double or contest with an end goal to save him refreshed and prepared for March. That is the functioning hypothesis here, at any rate.
More: Iowa grappler Tony Cassioppi is a more awesome heavyweight this season. Here's the reason.
Ybarra came to Iowa as a profoundly credentialed prospect. He was a Cadet free-form public boss in 2018, a finalist at the Cadet world group preliminaries in 2019, and was viewed as the No. 18 in general possibility in the 2020 class.
Him possibly getting some run at 125 pounds, against top-level contest, will be one more interesting advancement to follow this season.
Reyna, Siebrecht intrigue at 149
Three Hawkeye grapplers contended at 149 pounds: Vince Turk, Cobe Siebrecht, and Bretli Reyna. Every one of them made the elimination rounds. Reyna was the just one of the three to contend unattached, yet he set forth a noteworthy execution on Saturday.
Reyna beat Turk, 6-5 in extra time, in the elimination rounds. Reyna scored a takedown and an inversion to lead 4-3 after the primary time frame, fended off two great shots from Turk on the edge in unexpected triumph, gotten away right off the bat in the principal half of the 30-second sudden death round, then, at that point, braved Turk in the subsequent half to win it.
Siebrecht made the last, as well, bringing down a couple of Division III all-stars en route. In the quarterfinals, he beat Wartburg's Brady Fritz, 16-1. In the elimination rounds, he mobilized from down 4-1 to overcome another Wartburg grappler, Kris Rumph, 6-4. The two people have recently made the Division III public finals.
Siebrecht and Reyna didn't wind up wrestling in the last, and Turk bobbed back in the wrestlebacks and beat Rumph, 12-1, to complete third. And these folks are beginning the year behind Max Murin, the returning starter at 149.
The fact of the matter: there's acceptable, quality profundity for Iowa at this weight.
DeSanto tops Schriever again at 133
Austin DeSanto again beat Cullan Schriever at 133 pounds, this time 8-4 in the Luther Open finals. This was a rematch from their intrasquad match recently (and who can say for sure the number of in-the-room fights they've had).
Similar as their intrasquad match, DeSanto scored three first-period takedowns. Schriever fought back, and changed over his own takedown late in the subsequent period to draw near 7-4. Schriever had in on more chances all through the third time frame, yet battled to complete on DeSanto — who gets a great deal of adoration for his hostile engine but on the other hand is a keen safeguard.
DeSanto, a double cross All-American, is obviously going to be Iowa's person at 133 pounds this season, however Schriever proceeds to improve and advance the more he contends — and particularly when he goes up against DeSanto.
