Spencer Lee, a standout in college wrestling from Iowa, is gearing up to make a splash at the 2024 Olympics in Paris. Known for his impressive track record, Lee, at just 25, boasts a college career with a 98-6 record and has claimed gold at the NCAA Division I and Big Ten Championships three times. In freestyle wrestling, he’s earned gold at both the Pan American and World Championships, showcasing an unparalleled record.
However, Lee is still chasing his first Olympic medal. His last major international medal was from eight years ago, and with the guidance of Hawkeye coach Tom Brands—a 1996 Olympic gold medalist—Lee is more prepared than ever for his Olympic debut.
“I’m ready to go. We know what it takes to be at that level. I’ve got coaches who’ve been there and understand how to train and prepare for success,” Lee said in an interview with WHO 13.
Brands echoed Lee’s readiness, stating, “He’s where he needs to be for the next step, and that’s the most important thing. When you have a chance to handle business, you take care of it. He’s put himself in the best position to succeed, and he’s done it on his own with a short turnaround.”
