The Happels are one of the most decorated wrestling families in the state of Iowa. Carter hails from Lisbon and comes from a big family, having four brothers and four sisters. He’s the oldest boy and second oldest overall. He became Iowa’s 25th four-time state champion and finished his high school career with a record of 209-1. He went on to wrestle at the University of Iowa, like his father, Dean. Carter is now the Head Assistant Wrestling Coach at Cornell College. If you have a chance, get out and support the Cornell Rams this year! So please, sit back, relax and enjoy, Carter Happel!

Beat the Streets National Information: I have partnered with Gina Perry and Beat the Streets National in hopes to help raise money for their GearUp! campaign. The GearUp! campaign aims to provide youth with a new pair of wrestling shoes, head gear, and workout clothing. We've all been touched by wrestling in some shape or form, so now let us provide the same gift wrestling gave us to those who need it most. You can donate at national.beatthestreets.org/letstalkwrestling or help spread the word about the GearUp! campaign. Thank you so much for your support!
