The 2024-25 season is underway and the #2 Hawks started with a 30-7 win over the #23 Oregon State Beavers!
Our Hawkeyes won 8/10 matches in front of a rowdy OSU crowd. Drake Ayala (133), Ryder Block (141), Kyle Parco (149), Michael Caliendo (165), Nelson Brands (174), Gabe Arnold (184), Stephen Buchanan (197), and Ben Kueter (HWT) all picked up wins to start their seasons!
Up next is our home opener against #12 Stanford. Please join us before the dual at Tavern Blue for our first Pre-Match Social of the 2024-25 season! Follow this link to check out the entire 2024-2025 schedule!
CLUB UPDATE
For the past 3 years the HWC has sent several athletes to the Bill Farrell International Wrestling Tournament in New York City but this year it’s likely we will be staying home.
Lee, DeSanto, Warner, Marinelli, Young, Eierman, and Sorensen are all very active in the room, impacting our undergrads in a meaningful way. Everyone is healthy and fully committed to supporting the University team as they embark on pursuing title number 25 in 2025!
HAPPENING NOW
Up next is our home opener against #12 Stanford. Please join us before the dual at Tavern Blue for our first Pre-Match Social of the 2024-25 season!
For the past three years we have been partnering with local bars and restaurants to provide our fans with Pre-Match Socials! Our goal is to create an atmosphere where our community can grow and enjoy Hawkeye Wrestling together. Our social events are open to the public and free of charge! Guests can win raffle prizes, meet Hawkeye legends, and enjoy drink specials before each-and-every home dual this season!
We are also pleased to announce the formation of the HWC Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has been established as a fundraising board to further our vision to be the number one Olympic & senior level wrestling program in America. Currently we have 3 revenue streams; Events, the Inner Circle, and our Herb Tyler Endowment. By adding another layer to our organization we feel we can start climbing our way back to the top of the wrestling world!
Terry Shadwick, Board Member and Co-Chair for the Board of Trustees, is set to lead this new opportunity of giving with the help of two Co-Chairs, Tom and Barb Barton. Please reach out to them for more information.
