Not that it comes as much of a surprise, but Spencer Lee is holding down his No. 1 national ranking at Iowa.

The senior 125-pound wrestler from Franklin Regional recorded another pin for the top-ranked Hawkeyes flattened No. 9 Illinois, 36-6. The victory improved his winning streak to 26 matches, and the fall was the 24th of his career — the 19th in the first period.

Also, Lee moved to 25-0 in Big Ten duals and is 20-0 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, Iowa’s home venue.

Michael Kemerer (Franklin Regional), a redshirt senior at 174, recorded a major decision for Iowa in its latest win.
