Matt McDonough, a Senior Wrestler at Iowa, Threw Away His Second Place Medal After Losing 125-Pound B1G Championship
@SamLouwagie: This is the 2nd place 125 pound Big Ten trophy. We found it in the garbage. [PIC]
@SamLougwagie: Lots of response on McD’s medal last night. My take: It just shows his and the program’s mindset. Fed up with 2nd, not accepting it.
That is Iowa wrestling. The Hawkeyes wrestling program has won 23 national titles since 1975 – 16 of which came under the guidance of Olympic gold medalist and legendary coach Dan Gable. Iowa also owns 32 Big Ten titles, but hasn’t won either since 2010.
