Description

The state of Iowa is just as well known for prominent wrestlers as it is acres of corn and beans.

That gives the state the mighty distinction of feeding the world and defeating it on the mat.

Men like Dan Gable, Tom Brands, Harold Nichols, Jim Miller, Nick Mitchell and Chuck Patten led Iowa colleges to forty-four of an astounding sixty-nine national team championships.

In 1954, Simon Roberts of Davenport was the first African American to win a state wrestling title and later the first African American NCAA wrestling champion.

Wrestler Norman Borlaug received the Nobel Peace Prize and is credited with preventing more than one billion deaths from starvation.

Author Dan McCool details the long history of hard work and dedication from the fields to the mat.
