Timothy Koester of Bettendorf, Marcel Lopez of New London, Hunter Garvin of Iowa City West, Eric Kinkaid of Camanche, Blaine Frazier and CJ Walrath of Burlington Notre Dame, and Ben Kueter of Iowa City earned the title of state champion at the Iowa State Wrestling Championships earlier this month.
Wrestling holds a special place in the homes of many across Iowa, and these young men should be incredibly proud of their achievements.
Through hard work and dedication, these student-athletes were able to dominate their competition and bring home the victory to their school, family, and community. These young men proved that the possibilities are endless if you work hard enough.
Congratulations to all of our state champions!
Mr. Speaker, I yield back my time.
