Hall of Fame
Under the direction of Hall of Fame Coach Al Baxter, the 1986 wrestling team became one of the most decorated in program history. The Beavers finished the dual season at 17-4, claimed the first of three straight conference tournament team titles before capturing a third place national finish, their highest in program history. Five individuals captured Iowa Conference titles that season while six later became All-Americans, led by Dan Dresser's runner-up finish. Baxter was named the league's Coach of the Year for the third time.
