Back in the 70s y’all had a powerful wrestling team. Is that still strong?
We had a great wrestling team coached by “Swede” Umbach. Then along came Title IX funding and the powers that be decided wrestling wasn’t paying its way (although it was in National Contention regularly) and so it was axed in favor of Girl’s Tiddly Winks or something like that.
In the 70’s, I believe that is when Dan Gable coached Univ. of Iowa wrestling team. He was phenomenal to watch during the matches!!
They are the current defending NCAA champion, and ranked 1st nationally.
It is still a powerhouse, coached by Tom Brands. My husband is the wrestling fanatic.
