It was a historic weekend for wrestling in Iowa as the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union announced it would sanction the sport for the 2022-23 season. The Gazette's J.R. Ogden was at Xtream Arena in Coralville for the announcement during the Iowa Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association state tournament and joins The Gazette's K.J. Pilcher and Hall of Fame coach Dick Briggs on the Pinning Combination to talk about the scene.
Now, what's next? There are a few questions to answer as the IGHSAU prepares for its first wrestling season and we break them down one by one.
