Chris Spangler of Neuqua Valley High School in Naperville, Ill., will wrestle at Iowa State beginning next season, according to his father Mark Spangler.
Spangler is 37-0 at 171 pounds and is ranked No. 3 nationally at his weight by Amateur Wrestling News. He has beaten two wrestlers who were ranked No. 1 nationally this season — Brian Roddy of St. Edwards High School in Ohio and Grant Gambrall of Iowa City West. Spangler won a Class 2-A state championship at 103 in 2006 and was fifth at 119 last season.
he is a bit of a controversial character in illinois, because he jumped from 119 to 171 in one season, and obviously some people are making some accusations. however, chris has a superb work ethic, and it shows on the mat. no one is sure, except for chris, how he made the jump, but he is a good kid and a quality wrestler, and i am sure it was all natural, or all legal if you want to go that far. |

Wow, that is a lot of growth in one year. I hope he is a good one for us. He is in my backyard here. | |

He's in High School. He'll have growth spurts. Maybe he was cutting 20 lbs or so to get to 119 and didn't cut much to get to 171. | |

At the cyclone luncheon Cael said that a big recruit would be at the meet this
Friday night. The recruit was a light weight and he said he would be our top recruit if we could land him. He wants a large crowd Friday night. | |

I think Nick Fanthorpe is from Naperville, I wonder if he is from the same high school and maybe that helped with the recruiting. | |

I trust in Cael as I trust in God. If Cael is offering; then I welcome him to the Cyclone faimily with open arms. Welcome aboard Chris!! | |

fanthorpe's school and spangler's school were somewhat in-town rivals. im not sure, but i dont think that the two ever wrestled, but it wouldnt surprise me if they did. | |

Since I went to Naperville North, I can tell you that the two schools are going to become great rivals here pretty soon. North has a very rich tradition in wrestling and Neuqua is getting up there, so I am sure we have a special one in Chris Spangler.

I got to meet Nick Fanthorpe's family on Friday night (very nice people, by the way) and I asked his dad if they wrestled and I think he said when they were younger but not in high school. | |

I have seen a lot of people jump up 50 pounds in one year, but it usually involved beer and Hardees. | |
