Iowa's International Wrestling Presence

The University of Iowa Wrestling program has long been synonymous with Domination. Not only within the collegiate levels of the sport, but also at international levels. Doug Schwab (shown above), Mike Zadick and Steve Mocco are just a few of the many Olympians that have come through the Iowa Wrestling team to continue on with the Hawkeye Wrestling Club (see http://www.hawkeyewrestlingclub.com/) This powerful branch of the Iowa Hawkeyes is responsible for supporting athletes while they pursue their Olympic and World title dreams. The HWC has many fund raising opportunities and would not exist without support from Hawkeye fans and fans of wrestling. Currently the HWC has former Olympic Champions Tom Brands and Randy Lewis as coaches. Co-founder and former Olympic Champion, Dan Gable is an advisor to the club which was founded in 1973.

Former HWC Olympians:
Chris Campbell
