Joe, Mack, Eddie and Bart Reiter have combined to win eight individual state championships and 14 state medals over the last 11 years. Bart is currently a senior and wrestling at 135 pounds for Don Bosco High School and is seeking to win his fourth state championship in Des Moines, IA on Saturday, February 21. If Bart wins his fourth title, the Reiter's will become the first family in Iowa history to have two brothers win four state championships. Bart has committed to continue his wrestling career at University of Minnesota. Only the Gibbons family (Ames/Waterloo Columbus, 10) and Light family (Lisbon, 9) have won more Iowa state titles.
Don Bosco is ranked number one in the state in Class 1A and is the favorite to win the traditional and dual state championships for the fourth year in a row.
Mack Reiter was a four-time state champion from 2000-2003 where he compiled a record of 182-3 with 134 falls. He went on to the University of Minnesota where he was a three-time All-American at 133 pounds and won an NCAA team championship in 2007. Mack is currently a graduate assistant at Minnesota and aspires to become a Division I athletics director.
