Pat Lugo, Austin DeSanto, Alex Marinelli, and Cody Chittum all brought home medals from the Grand Prix de France Henri Deglane, in Nice, France last month! Lugo (65kg) and DeSanto (61kg) won GOLD, Marinelli (79kg) took SILVER while Chittum (70kg) brought home BRONZE. Lugo, DeSanto, and Chittum will compete next in Alexandria, Egypt at the UWW Rankings Series Tournament! Thank you all so much for your support, traveling and competing at events like these would not be possible without you!

We are currently working on bringing you, our most valuable and supportive fans, more 50 Year Anniversary graphics, merchandise, and content! We only celebrate our 50th once, so everything we put out is limited edition and won’t be replicated! Make sure you don’t miss out on these offerings by reading our newsletters all year long and by following us on our social media channels – Instagram, Facebook & Twitter.

We are also spending a lot of time planning our Annual Banquet – 50 Years of Excellence, to be held in mid May, right here in Iowa City. Registration for this awesome event will open on our website in two weeks… Stay tuned! If you or someone you know is interested in sponsoring a table for the event, contact our team at banquet@hawkeyewrestlingclub.com or call (563)299-6453 for more information.

2022 Annual Giving Summary

This past year we changed donor management systems, so our 2022 annual summaries will be generated by two different websites – DonorBox & Classy. All online transitions will be accounted for but will be produced in two separate reports from us. If you also gave offline with a check, that will be emailed to you separately from these reports. Donors can expect to receive these summaries by the end of this week!

Because of you, we can continue our pursuit of excellence. We are incredibly grateful for your generosity and unwavering support! Thank you!!

We have a few pre-match socials left for the season! The University of Iowa will face Michigan on Friday, Feb. 10, and then Oklahoma State on Sunday, Feb 19.
