Iowa adding Women's Wrestling

[crossface21]

Iowa is the first D1 school to add women's wrestling. This has been in the works for a long time for Iowa. IMO, this is going to really speed up the amount of teams being added for women. I was really hoping UW would have been the first to do it, but hopefully they aren't far behind.

I think I read 3rd D1 but first power 5 conference.

Badgers next?

Yes, my mistake. First Power 5.

I hope we add a women's team.  Our existing group of women would help with recruiting.  Awesome practice partners and established culture.

The state of Wisconsin has developed some phenomenal female wrestlers who have gone on to do great things.  I think it only makes sense to take the next step.
