USA! USA! USA!

August 7th, 2024

“USA! USA! USA!” is what Spencer Lee, Helen Maroulis, Adam Coon, and the rest of Team USA were chanting during the Opening Ceremonies in the pouring rain! Did you see it?! So awesome!

Club Update

Spencer Lee and Iowa Wrestling are lucky to have each of YOU in our corner!! There’s 60+ Hawk fans traveling over 4,000 miles to watch Spencer at the Olympic Games – and thousands more watching from home! He is so grateful to have fans like you who allow him to Show Up. Dominate. And Go Home! Your generosity got him here and now he gets to represent our great program, state, and country on the largest stage! Thank you.

As the Games grow even closer, our excitement for watching Spencer gets more and more amplified! We want to make sure you have everything you need for when the whistle blows for the first time!

  1. SCHEDULE. Spencer Lee (57kg) takes the mat tomorrow morning (Aug. 8) at approximately 4:30am CST! You can take a look at the tournament schedule in its entirety here.
  2. WATCH. Wrestling can be streamed live on Peacock, NBCOlympics.com, NBC.com, NBC app, NBC Olympics app or watched on TV at USA Network.
  3. WATCH PARTY! Don’t want to watch alone? We’ve got you covered! Come to Donnelly’s Pub for the HWC Official Spencer Lee Watch Party! Register today for tomorrow’s action!
  4. BRACKETS. The brackets will be drawn later this morning. Spencer will be placed into the bracket randomly. Checkout all the other Olympic brackets here!
  5. FAMILIAR FACES. You will probably recognize 2 names in Spencer’s bracket: Roman Bravo-Young, MEX (Penn State), & Darian Cruz, PUR (Lehigh). These two Americans now compete under a different flag but come up in the American system. Stevan Micic, SRB (Michigan) was also in the bracket but has withdrawn from the tournament due to a knee injury.
  6. THANK YOU. Nearly 600 Inner Circle Members made this Olympic journey possible! You give Spencer and his teammates the opportunity to pursue staggering goals every day. Thank you!
