When the Indiana High School Athletic Association changed their travel rules for out of state competition, Ironman Tournament Team Director Corey Haddad went to work to bring the best talent the Hoosier state has to offer to the 2022 Ironman. Crown Point, who will be ranked as a top ten team this year, won the Indiana team state championship and Brownsburg was runner-up. Jimtown will send one wrestler and that happens to be Flo Wrestling’s number one ranked P4P Christian Carroll, a transfer from New Prairie where he was the Indiana State champion last year.

Crown Point
The Bulldogs will enter a full team that includes five state finalists from last year including two state champions, and three other placers for a total of eight placers that dominated the Indiana state championships. The list does not include last year’s number one ranked Jesse Mendez who now wrestles for Ohio State. It’s a seasoned lineup with one sophomore (Gavin Jendres-2nd-106), two juniors (William Clark-5th-195, Paul Clark-4th-220) and five seniors (Logan Frazier-1st-126, Anthony Bahl-2nd-132, Samuel Goin-1st-152, Cody Goodwin-4th-160, Orlando Cruz-2nd-182) Goin is ranked #9 and Cruz is ranked #12 by Flo Sports.

Jimtown
The Jimmies from Elkhart are bringing one wrestler to the Ironman, and he will be one of the featured attractions the fans are eagerly wanting to see.
