A few Marshalltown sports trivia:

1) Also, the State Wrestling program shows Marshalltown High School won the 1st state title (which wasn't actually the first one),

what Hall of Fame NCAA D-1 basketball coach was an assistant coach of that wrestling team?


2) The son of the founder of Marshalltown was the 1st Major League Baseball player to have 3,000 hits, who was it?


3) What MHS alumn broke the national record (I believe still stands) for career home runs (4 years)?

And a few Hawkeyes wrestling trivia:

1) How many NCAA wrestling team titles did Iowa win before Dan Gable was employed as a coach?

2) What is the most consecutive NCAA team titles thaDan Gable won as coach?

 

[Hawkeye]

Name the three Iowa universities that have won Division I NCAA team title in wrestling.

This one is easy, Iowa, Iowa State and Northern Iowa...funny, Iowa won 3 in a row right before Penn State won these last 3, time to break their hold and get 3 more for the Hawkeyes!

UNI hasn't won D-1 title.

1) How many NCAA wrestling team titles did Iowa win before Dan Gable was employed as a coach?

2) What is the most consecutive NCAA team titles thaDan Gable won as coach?

1. well Gable won 16, Iowa has 23 overall, Zalesky won 3 and I think Brands has won 3 so that is 22 overall so I am going with 1
2. 9 as I recall

 

[Hawkeye]

yep UNI won the title in 1950 cause I know someone who champions that for them; was it called UNI then though?

Okay, there's a 4th one then. Who is it?

 

[iowajerms]

1. well Gable won 16, Iowa has 23 overall, Zalesky won 3 and I think Brands has won 3 so that is 22 overall so I am going with 1
2. 9 as I recall

0. Gable was an assistant for the 1st one. and 9 is correct. 10 in first 11 years as head coach.

[gengljer]

Herky, spot on Matt Clement. Saw your post and knew it was right. Our school has his motivational poster up in the hallway.

 

[iowajerms]

2. Cap Anson
3. Clement

Correct

 

[Hawkeye]

so I guess UNI was known as the State Teachers college back when they won the Wrestling championship...so yep only 3, just known as a different name, only other one eligible was Drake and they haven't won it

The 4th college is not eligible to win it anymore, at least not in div 1. Name is the same.

Basketball question

Iowa played Stagg's Chicago team in the first ever what in NCAA?

 

[iowajerms]

The 4th is Cornell College. They won it in 1947 i believe. I am 100% certain that it is the Cornell near Cedar Rapids.

 

[Hawkeye]

yep Cornell is in Mount Vernon, I went to a basketball camp there many many years ago, was a blast

Basketball question

Going to go with the first ever college game? Stagg was there in the late 1800's as I recall so as amazing as it sounds I think that is it since Naismith invented the game in 1891.

It wasn't the first ever NCAA basketball game. But it is the first game that looks the way it is played around the world in all levels today.

When I wrestled at York, we went to Cornell's wrestling tournament right after New Years. Our captain qualified for NAIA Nationals at that tournament.
