Correction: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that Kyven Gadson’s 2015 National Championship title was ISU wrestling’s first individual champion since Jake Varner in 2010. Jon Reader’s 2011 National Championship title was the last ISU individual title before Gadson won it in 2015. The article has since been corrected. The Iowa State Daily regrets this error. 

Last season, ISU wrestling’s Kyven Gadson proved anyone can have his cake (or ice cream) and eat it, too.

Gadson wrestled his way to a 30-1 record that he capped off with a national championship. After winning his title, Gadson was asked by ESPN’s Quint Kessenich what he was going to do next.

Gadson’s response: “I just want some ice cream, man.”

Now that Gadson has had his ice cream, the attention has shifted to the next group of ISU wrestlers hungry for some dessert.

Gadson pointed to Earl Hall in his post-match press conference as the next Cyclone he expects to see vying for a title.

Hall racked up a 27-8 record last season en route to becoming Big 12 runner-up and an NCAA Championship appearance at 133 pounds. Hall has made a name for himself at Iowa State for his exhilarating style of wrestling, making him a fan favorite.

Joining Hall among the most exciting wrestlers in Iowa State’s lineup is Dante Rodriguez, who was originally going to redshirt last season before being inserted into the starting lineup.

Rodriguez posted a 19-8 record with 12 pins. Rodriguez’s pinning ability quickly made him a fan favorite and provided excitement every time he stepped out on the mat.

Gabe Moreno had a solid season at 149 pounds with a 26-7 record and a trip to the NCAA championships. Gabe is the younger brother of Michael Moreno, who finished his ISU wrestling career last season.

Tanner Weatherman and Lelund Weatherspoon logged records of 23-10 and 18-7, respectively, last season. The duo will likely be looked as team leaders and key contributors at the 174- and 184-pound weight classes.

In total, the Cyclones will return NCAA qualifiers at five weight classes, providing a good mixture of experienced wrestlers and new faces.

In dual meets, the team racked up a record of 11-2, which was the second-best record of ISU coach Kevin Jackson’s six-year tenure.

The Cyclones finished their season as the No. 8 team in the country and with their first national champion since Jon Reader in 2011.

After Gadson reignited the Cyclones’ championship ways, ISU wrestling fans are eager to see which Cyclone will next be eating ice cream after the NCAA Championships are all said and done.
