The Final X era of the World Team Trials Challenge tournament has a brief but memorable history. A tournament was held in 2018 and 2019 to determine which wrestlers would face each other for the World team spot in each weight class. The format was scrapped for the 2021 World Team Trials since the Olympics were held the same year due to the postponement of the 2020 Olympic Games.

Bella Mir has committed to Iowa — and an unlikely source urged her to wrestle there.

A big piece of news for women’s wrestling dropped over the weekend when the NAIA voted to adopt women’s wrestling as its 28th national championship sport beginning next season.

Iowa coach Clarissa Chun added her first transfer to an already impressive recruiting class.

She plans to finish the semester in Atherton, California, before making the move to the Midwest.

There was a lot of talk about how much firepower the Iowa Hawkeyes would be losing in 2022-2023 with the departure of Austin Desanto, Jaydin Eierman, Kaleb Young, Alex Marinelli, and Michael Kemerer. However, a huge return of a 3X national champion, national title contender transfer, and some key upperclassmen that have been on a title-winning team will keep the Hawks in the trophy contention hunt.

Just one day after making waves in the wrestling community by officially entering the transfer portal, 2022 NCAA All-American Real Woods announced his decision to wrestle for the Iowa Hawkeyes with his two remaining years of eligibility.

The NCAA Championship brackets are out! And thanks to the tournament committee's decision to assign seeds to all 33 entrants per weight class, we can now project how the team race will play out in Detroit!

Like any team sending a full lineup to the NCAA Championships, Iowa came away with a mixed bag from a draw standpoint. There’s some good, some not so good and some in between. The Hawkeyes have seven wrestlers who are seeded in the top eight at their respective weight classes, but it will likely take at least that many All-Americans, including several who exceed their seeds, for Iowa to be in the mix to win its second straight national title.
