Great performance by the US women's team.

 

[WildTurk]

All that wrestling around with Cory Clark has paid off! Congrats Alli Ragan!

 

[IAChief32]

Alli is a stud. Also looks like she is wrestling up, likely cause of Helen...all the chicks are way bigger but she's scrappy. Very cagey and has good mat awareness.

 

[butchinmi]

Seems like a great representative of the US and HWC.

And excellent taste in boyfriends.

Please tell me you are not going to start a most handsome senior level wrestler thread!

 

[AFHawk86]

Just watched Helen Maroulis' finals match.... how does the HWC pry her away from Sunkist Kids?

$ and and arranged marriage with Kemerer.

 

[DayHawk18]

Women's wrestling is still so far away from men's in terms of quality and quantity.

That said, she's already likely our best ever

Yes. Add her and Adeline Gray to the HWC. Having those 3 would firmly plant the flag in IC as THE place for women's wrestling...could effectively host women's camps/clinics and other promotions while recruiting upcoming talents and when these ladies retire from competition, perhaps some of them could take on coaching/mentoring roles within the HWC...

Would be even more inviting if Iowa had a women's collegiate team.

Yes. How awesome would it be if Iowa was the first D1 school to come on board with a women's team. What comes first here, though? The chicken (iowa women's wrestling) or the egg (HWC becomes the best, most fully outfitted women's wrestling club)?

I'm a fan of c) the simultaneous chicken and egg appearance.

 

[redghost1974]

My wishful thinking was hopeing a Texas school would lead the charge with a D1 women's team. Girls HS wrestling participation is fantastic.
