Iowa high school anglers chase nationals at Hartwell finals
Five Cedar Falls and Central Iowa teams joined 359 others at Lake Hartwell for the 1922 High School Fishing World Finals and National Championship. Iowa’s Draper King and Carstens Penstein led the local contingent, with Timmerman brothers earning a Lucky Dog spot. Weichman, Moore, and peers learned lake-specific tactics, teamwork, discipline, and the broader value of the sport beyond trophies.
