In the 19-year history of this event, the host state has only beaten Team USA in a dual one time. The most recent Dream Team competition in Iowa was held at Iowa City West during the Olympic Team Trials in 2012. Many feel with the talent the state of Iowa's senior class has this year, Team Iowa has the chance to pull off the win.
The Wrestling Classic takes place on Saturday, April 11 at the Independence Jr./Sr. High School at 6 p.m. Watch The Predicament website for more details.
