It’s been a rumor for a while, but according to a couple of different sources I’ve learned Cedar Falls has been named Will Kelly it’s new head wrestling coach.

The former Wartburg national champion has been running the Tigers’ kids club the past few seasons.

He won an NCAA title for the Knights in 2003 at 141 pounds and was third in 2002.

Other interesting news is that the recruiting process for Cedar Valley state champions Michael Kelly of Cedar Falls and Kyven Gadson of Waterloo East has been heating up. Both were rumored to have received in-home visits from new Iowa State head coach Kevin Jackson recently.

Division I head coaches were allowed to begin contacting potential recruits on July 1.

Other top area recruits who have been receiving strong recognition are Denver-Tripoli standouts Levi Wolfensperger and Blake Sorensen.
