Watch Live: Big Ten Wrestling Championships Finals and Session 3
Updated at 9:18 p.m. Saturday with semifinal results
Iowa is sending four wrestlers to the finals of the 2013 Big Ten Championships.
Matt McDonough, Tony Ramos, Mark Ballweg and Mike Evans all were victorious in the semifinals on Saturday in Champaign, IL.
Still, the Hawkeyes suffered a blow when their defending Big Ten champion at 157 pounds, Derek St. John, fell in his match.
Iowa is in third place in the team score with 109 points. Penn State has 123 points and Minnesota is at 112.5. Iowa is not out of the team race, but it is not promising at this point.
