Snowstorms, windchills, and broken-down buses couldn't stop the Iowa Lakes women's wrestlers from having a fantastic weekend of wrestling at the Buena Vista University Open. With a total of 9 placers and 2 champs in the deep field of cross divisional competitors, the Lakers demonstrated that they deserve to be a top 10 team in the nation. Keyahna Phillips (180) and Brooklyn Robinson (235) both walked away from the tournament with 1st place finishes as the champs, Brenda Valenzuela (235) with a 3rd place finish, Delmariea Josheph (235) finishing 4th, Aroura Preston (103) finishing 5th, Soledad Luchman (207) finishing with 6th, Ella Pagel (160) and Stevy Griffin (124) both placing 8th, and Anacarolina Cazares (138) becoming the Consolation bracket Champion and placing at her first ever collegiate tournament to cap of the end of the first semester! Coach Corey Muniz writes "It was a good effort all around and just another step in the contiuned development of this program. The ladies faught, they put their foot on the line and made it a battle whistle-to-whistle." Muniz continues with, "Now it is time to rest and recharge the batteries. This is going to be a great time for us to gear up for a great return to competition second semester and ensure that we're hitting the ground running". The lady lakers will compete again on January 20th in their home dual against Hawkeye CC.
