Kelly Ward (ISU) v Mike McGivern (Iowa) 1977

Iowa State Super Soph Kelly Ward battles Iowa Hawk Mike McGivern in another tightly contested Iowa - Iowa State Dual.

Ward comes out on top in the final ticks of the match to win 5-3. The packed house at Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa comes uncorked blowing the roof off the joint!

This is what College Wrestling used to be all about back in the day! Sports Illustrated would come to cover the dual meet and put it in their magazine the next week - complete with interviews of the coaches and athletes.

Look for Iowa State Wrestling Legend and 2 Time NCAA Champ ('71-'72), Pan Am Games Silver Medalist Carl Adams towards the end of the clip. Carl, now long time Head Wrestling Coach at Boston U. was an Iowa State Assistant at the time.
