IOWA CITY, Iowa -- University of Iowa assistant wrestling coach Ryan Morningstar suffered a medical emergency on Aug. 17. He was admitted and treated for a stroke at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, and later released on Aug. 21.

It is good to be back in the wrestling room doing what I love with the best people in the world.”
