Rodriguez would be a fantastic addition. Not only a highly skilled wrestler, but a perfect fit as there is currently no true 155# on the roster. Really hope she commits.

Moore is a stud. Any time you add a top pfp is a good thing, so I would be pumped if she commits. But Iowa is already loaded at the lighter weights so it's not as impactful if she chooses to go elsewhere.

Don't know Luft personally so I could be very wrong here, but I have always assumed she was a lock to become a Hawkeye.

Moore would be perfect at 136, assuming she puts on a few pounds the next two years. And Rodriguez at 155? Fuggetaboutit!

#1 Shelby Moore (future Hawk??) just won at WNO, beating the #2 10-0. 5 takedowns.

What are the weight classes for womens college wrestling and what does our lineup look like?

Need someone at 157.


...or 155

How's that possible? I haven't seen a WNO event. Do they not grant points for escapes/releases?

 

[wyldhawk9]

What’s the latest on Bruntil?

She's allowing her remaining eligibility to lapse so she can focus on international competition. It's a bummer for me because I thought she'd be a perfect fit here.

I believe women's wrestling is all freestyle. So five takedowns adds up.

that young woman’s story is the epitome of why I’m so excited about Iowa’s leadership in establishing P5 women’s wrestling

Shoutout to Lily Luft. Finished 2nd at Super 32's. Lost 6-4 in the finals to Dillard(#3 nationally). Luft(#14) knocked off #6 in the semis.

Also, not a Hawkeye commit, but Skylar Slade had a hell of a tournament. Beat 3 top 10s, including a #1 en route to the title at 148.

Unfortunately, no. She committed to McKendree.

I might be able to drop by this event. Anyone have more info on Iowa women participating or what the schedule is for the women's event?

 

[Spicolli]

Brackets will eventually be posted here

I know where to come when having trouble falling asleep

 

[grapplefann]

I know where to come when having trouble falling asleep.

Maybe an underpass beneath I-80?
Don't come to Carver-Hawkeye, because the gals are going to bring it, and the crowd noise won't let you sleep.

The women wrestle freestyle, not folk style.

not a popular take but I wish the men did too

 

[Buchos]

Are the Iowa women not wrestling in the Luther Hill invitational? None of them are in the brackets?

so wrestling unattached is everything on their own dime? I was also wondering the other day if they were on scholarship yet?

Tried to attach a pic to this, but technology is not my friend.... I had the honor of officiating the first ever HAWKEYE WOMENS wrestling match (albeit unattached). Felicity Taylor was the first Hawkeye on the mat, Friday, at the Missouri Valley Open... From a 90's room guy Hawkeye, to officiating the women's first match ever....kinda cool 🤷‍♂️
