ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Iowa State’s David Carr continues to etch his name deeper into Iowa State wrestling history. On Saturday night, the Canton, Ohio, native won the 2021 157-pound NCAA Wrestling Championship.
With his national title, Carr becomes Iowa State’s 50th individual wrestler to win a national title and the 70th-overall individual national champion in program history.
As a team, Iowa State tied for 13th at the 2021 NCAA Championships with 37.5 team points.
Session VII (Finals)
In the 157-pound championship bout, Carr took on Jesse Dellavecchia from Rider. After a scoreless first period, Carr began the second with an escape. He added a takedown and finished the period on top. Heading to the final stanza, Carr led 3-0.
In the final period, Carr went to work on top, stifling any attempt by Dellavecchia to get to his feet. He racked up 2:04 of riding time and posted a 4-0 decision to claim the 157-pound crown.
With his championship performance, Carr gives head coach Kevin Dresser his first-ever individual National Champion. Carr becomes Iowa State’s first NCAA Champion since 2015, when Kyven Gadson won the 197-pound bracket in the very same arena.
Session VI (Medal Round)
During the medal rounds on Saturday morning, two-time All-American Gannon Gremmel wrestled to a fifth-place finish at 285 pounds. Coming into the week, the heavyweight bracket was touted as one of the deepest in the tournament.
After dropping a tight 3-1 decision to Cohlton Schultz of Arizona State in sudden victory in the consolations-semifinals, Gremmel took on Wisconsin’s Trent Hillger in the fifth-place match at 285 pounds.
The Big 12 Champion got to work early against Hillger, taking him down in the first period. Gremmel finished the period on top and led 2-0. Hillger put in a tough ride to begin the second, but Gremmel eventually broke free and reversed the Badger to extend the lead to 4-0. In the end, it was Gremmel over Hillger, 4-0, for a fifth-place finish for the Cyclones.
NCAA Champion Notes
ST. LOUIS – University of Iowa senior Spencer Lee won the 125-pound NCAA Championship Saturday night, becoming the seventh three-time national champion in program history and putting an exclamation point on the Hawkeyes’ 2021 NCAA team title.
Lee defeated Arizona State’s Brandon Courtney, 7-0. He scored four points in the second period from an escape, caution point and takedown, and added another takedown in the third to go along with one minute, 44 seconds of riding time. He was 5-0 in the tournament, outscoring his opponents, 59-8. His seven-point margin of victory was the largest of any of the 10 championships matches.
“I go out there and wrestle my hardest and I score points for seven minutes or more if needed,” Lee said. “I won three (titles), awesome. Good for me. We won the team title, awesome. That’s what we came here to do. This is what I wanted and this is what I’ve been training for my whole life. Now we worry about what’s next. That’s all that matters.”
Lee was one of three Hawkeyes in the finals and one of seven to finish the tournament with All-America honors. Seniors Jaydin Eierman and Michael Kemerer both dropped overtime decisions in their respective matches. Iowa locked up the team title Saturday afternoon in the medal round.
“We were one for three in the finals. There is a lot of processing going on here,” said Iowa head coach Tom Brands. “I think it’s time to enjoy. That’s hard for me to say but as a leader of the program I have to steer it that way because our fan base has craved this. This isn’t automatic. This was earned.”
Iowa finished the team race with 129 points, 15.5 clear of second-place Penn State. The team title is the 24th in program history and the first since 2010.
“It’s been 11 years since a real important trophy has been in Iowa City, and this team, the 35 guys back in that wrestling room and these 10 guys here, and this coaching staff and administration, brought a trophy back that is important to our fan base. That has got to be said. Is there relief, not really, but there is joy,” Brands said.
Iowa’s chase for the national title was expected to come to an end 52 weeks ago, but the COVID-19 pandemic ended a season that saw the Hawkeyes entering the national tournament as the undisputed favorite. When cleared to return to competition in January of 2021, Iowa picked up right where it left off and continued its run as the top team in the country. In doing so, it honored that 2020 team that never had a chance to prove the same.
“You do your job as an individual and team titles will come,” said Lee, “and I just want to say something quick. I didn’t just do this for me. I did it for the seniors that lost out last year. I wanted them to win with us. They didn’t get that opportunity, so I don’t even care about this trophy right now. I want to give it to my one brother who wasn’t able to compete last year. We do our job as individuals and our team title will come.”
One through 10, the Hawkeyes did their job. Each of Iowa’s 10 qualifiers contributed to the winning point total. Collectively Iowa was 38-14 in the NCAA tournament, scoring bonus points in 21 matches. The tournament was decided Saturday morning when the Hawkeyes went 6-1 on the back side of the bracket.
“You can’t win a team title with just one guy,” Lee said. “Even if I pinned every single opponent the most I can score is 30 points, and I’m pretty sure the second and third place teams were above 100. You can’t win it with one guy. You have to win it with a team. That’s all that matters. It takes a team effort.”
Iowa finished the season with its 24th national championship, 37th Big Ten championship and a Big Ten regular season title. Four Hawkeyes won Big Ten titles and seven earned All-America honors at the national tournament.
