Wrestler Throws Medal In Garbage After Winning Second Place
An Iowa wrestler threw his medal in the garbage after taking second place at a Big Ten Tournament.
Matt McDonough entered the tournament as the number one seed in the 125 lb weight class and was going up against a wrestler that he had beaten twice in the past.
McDonough couldn’t pull out the victory, however, and lost to Jesse Delgado during the Championship match.
McDonough, like several of Iowa’s other top wrestlers, were disappointed with the results of the tournament.

When you wrestle for one of the best teams in the country (Iowa has won 23 NCAA National Championships since 1975) and when you’re one of the best wrestlers in your division, it has to be hard to hold a second place medal. Still, most wrestler’s wouldn’t throw a second place medal in the garbage.

Loved watching Iowa lose in their championship bouts. What happened to Storley on the first day?
As great a coach as J is, Sanderson has his guys really wrestling aggressively and not playing it safe.
Seems to be setting up a dynasty. Hope we can catch some breaks in the NCAA's. Go Gophs!
