Thu - 24 Jan Written by Jim Ecker

The most important members of the Cedar Rapids Prairie wrestling squad these days could be the trainer, the physical therapist and the team doctor.

The Hawks are hurting a little bit and the biggest meets of the season are coming up.

Sam Uthoff, Dylan Becker and Austin Gould did not wrestle during Thursday night's double-dual meet at Prairie and only Uthoff is given a chance of competing in the Mississippi Valley Conference meet this Saturday.
