BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
There is no question that wrestling is huge in Iowa. I’m your southwest Iowa neighborhood reporter Katrina in Council Bluffs where the National Junior College Athletic Association is hosting its national tournament for both men’s and women’s wrestling.
Tucker Mugg is a first-year student at Itasca Community College in northern Minnesota. He’s in town to support his friends.
“Wrestling kinda makes you insane, right? Like, it’s just about how hard you push yourself. Like, when you’re cutting weight- don't drink, don’t eat. You’re just throwing hands with one of your buddies and right after you gotta be friends with him again.”
The tournament is at the Mid-America Center through Saturday night and tickets are still available online.
