“On the Mat" is a presentation of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum and can be heard live on the Internet at www.kcnzam.com or locally in Northeast Iowa each Wednesday from 5:00 - 6:00 PM Central time on AM 1650, The Fan. Feel free to e-mail radio@wrestlingmuseum.org with any questions or comments about the show.
Nick Moore became a junior national freestyle champion with a fall in the finals Saturday in Fargo, North Dakota. Moore finished 11-0 in the event and in February became the 19th wrestler to win four high school state championships in Iowa, losing only one bout in his prep career at Iowa City West. Moore takes his talents to the University of Iowa where he will likely redshirt this season and wrestle at 157 pounds.
Mark Reiland was Moore’s high school coach and spent last week in Fargo at the ASICS/Vaughn Junior & Cadet National Championships. Reiland serves as the director of the Iowa Wrestling Federation and coaches athletes in both freestyle and Greco-Roman. Iowa wrestlers earned 33 All-American honors during the seven day tournament; including championships from Elijah Sullivan (JR GR 135), Jack Hathaway (CADET GR 112), Phillip Laux (CADET FR 98) Nick Moore (JR FR 160) and Jake Ballweg (JR FR 140).
