Bobby Telford Gives a Sneak Peak on What the Hawkeyes’ Program Looks Like
Bobby Telford gave an inside look at the Hawkeye Wrestling Club during the beginning of the previous NCAA season. Wrestlers can be seen engaging in gritty sparring sessions, working on their conditioning, and preparing for the regular seasonal tournaments.
Telford gave an insight into how diverse the camp is and how each was on his own, alongside highlighting the importance of bringing accountability to all.
“Every afternoon and morning, these guys are in here; they’re on their own today. Some guys are wrestling live, some are working on their technique, and some are getting ready to go live, depending on their age group, so a lot of different things are happening and a lot of accountability on your own right now,” he said.
The Iowan Men’s Wrestling team had just secured the 4th position at the NCAA D1 finals with a whopping score of 92.5 points, with Michael Caliendo as the runner-up.
