To all the past and present fellow @HWC_wrestling board members, this is the day we all worked for.. to help give athletes like @LeeSpencerlee36 the opportunity for Olympic GOLD. Thanks to all of you and ALL of the supporters, coaches and athletes. Go get em Spencer 🇺🇸
Always liked Gilman of course until he became a dick. Looks like he’s matured a lot now and that’s great. However, a nice little exclamation with the stick from Spencer made me evil smile. Justice served. 🔨

Sadly this isn’t a big shock. I hope whatever is ailing him, he can take the time now to heal/fix or whatever the case. It sucks but his day will come again. 🇺🇸
Something has been wrong all year. Hard to say if it’s his knees or something else. It’s definitely affected his gas tank and wrestling in 2nd/3rd periods unfortunately. Hope the absolute best for him. What an amazing kid, representative for wrestling and Iowa in every way.

Really sad, man. Too young. Great guy and did so much for all levels of wrestling. Was a pleasure to be on the HWC board with him. RIP Reiland.
Our hearts are with the family and friends of Mark Reiland, champion wrestler, champion coach, champion person.
