DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — USA Wrestling has chosen Iowa City to host the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team Trials for wrestling.

The group announced Tuesday that Iowa City’s bid beat out those from Council Bluffs, Iowa, and Columbus, Ohio.

The trials will be held April 21-22, 2012, at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on the University of Iowa campus.

The event will determine which athletes will represent the United States at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, England.

Greensboro, N.C.; Hampton, Va.; Oklahoma City, Okla.; and Pontiac, Mich., also bid for the wrestling trials but weren’t selected.
