Coe College to host Iowa/USA Wrestling camp
Iowa/USA Wrestling Camp
The Iowa/USA Wrestling camp will be held at Coe College beginning July 2019. Most recently housed at Grand View University, Iowa wrestlers will prepare at Coe for Cadet and Junior National Wrestling Championships over the next three summers.
In July, 125 high school wrestlers from all over the state will converge at Coe’s new Athletics and Recreation Complex. The comprehensive 200,000-square-foot building and renovation project, completed in 2017, included construction of a new performance arena, wrestling room and fitness center.
“We are excited to partner with Coe College and use their state-of-the-art facilities for Iowa/USA Wrestling training camp for the next three years. We feel their facilities and layout will allow our athletes to have a safe, productive and highly efficient training camp to prepare themselves for nationals,” state chairman of Iowa/USA Wrestling Mark Reiland said.
USA Wrestling is the national governing body for the sport of wrestling in the United States and is a representative to the United States Olympic Committee. USA Wrestling coordinates amateur wrestling programs throughout the nation.
