Iowa Women's Wrestling

[natchrlman]

HWC could become a powerhouse for women’s wrestling. The pieces are in place to trend this way.

All due respect and I share your enthusiasm but for now they’re a really big fish in a small pond….. hope that changes

I concur with your small pond take. I am hoping the gals with 1 or two years of eligibility stick around with HWC.
As it stands, we are all in on Spencer. If he stays healthy, HWC gets a big image change. We have work to do.

Not expecting a lot from Han, but she'll be a great practice partner for Estrella.

We'll see, but Han looks like a gamer, with powerful legs and physical attacks. With Chun's coaching, this gal ain't takin back seat to nobody.

I see we have our first RoomGal™️

I am so not caught up in rankings...this staff knows what they are looking for. They have their pick of girls... if they want her than she has something they like.

 

[funnyfletcher]

Here are some updated rankings
#1-100 Brianna Gonzalez (14 overall)
#8-106 Sterling Dias
#10-106 Emilie Gonzalez
#1-112 Nyla Valencia (17 overall)
#15-112 Ava Bayless
#3-132 Ella Schmit
#12-132 Esther Han
#1-144 Reese Larramendy (16 overall)
#6-144 Bella Mir
#2-164 Kylie Welker (2 overall)
#1-200 Sam Calkins (25 overall)

She's the 13th ranked wrestler in the country at her weight, regardless of age. 3rd at Fargo as a HS junior. Are we sure we should be so pessimistic?

No pessimism here.

She is also a senior that finished 3rd at Fargo this year.

That was more of a message to all than you specifically. Also, Fargo Nationals don’t start until this weekend. Perhaps she was a high school senior in 2021 and that’s why I’m wrong.

We all good.

And I guess I got to get better sources than HawkeyeSports (and I mean that seriously)

Ya made me actually go look and realize I am dumb. Thanks

I saw that too. I think they may have screwed up but what do I know?

I was wrong once a long time ago…. Can’t remember what about but I do get progressively dumber every day 😎

Is this the old "I was wrong once. It was when I thought I was wrong, but I wasn't."?

You’re not wrong

Naw…. I think he’s just documenting his fall into self awareness? It can all be down hill from there.

Awesome team photo below. A couple of additions that I hadn't heard about.

TJ Bingham, a freshman out of Texas and Anayka Besco, a junior transfer from Dixie State.

Room full of killers right there.

That photo is not good news for every other women’s wrestling team, be afraid be very afraid. The bar has been set extremely high！

 

[natchrlman]

Love Gable being in it…..great picture….. that’s history being made right there ❤️

 

[jrod65]

Nice collection of short inteviews of all the wrestlers. I haven't made it through all of them yet, but a common theme is that Coach Chun was a huge factor in the decision to come to Iowa. I'm sure it's no surprise for those involved with women's wrestling, but still awesome to hear just how much the wrestlers look up to her.

Just glad all of the West coasters are already enrolled before having to experience their 1st winter in Iowa!
