Hawks,
We are all back-to-school and excited for another packed year of Iowa athletics! Although this year will be unlike any other, we can’t wait to see what we will accomplish together!
With ever changing rules, the landscape of college athletics has shifted indefinitely. The expectation to win hasn’t changed, but the framework in which we pursue individual and team titles has. Now more than ever fans, donors, and alumni play a vital role in that pursuit. And many of you know, the teams with the most, win the most.
Thank you for being here and for believing in our program. With your help we’re able to put the best team on the mat every-time out, THANK YOU!
