Keyahna Phillips - Iowa Lakes - Wrestling

The ICCAC announced the four finalists for the 2025-26 ICCAC Female Student-Athlete of the Year Award. Keyahna Phillips has made an impact at Iowa Lakes and left her mark on the wrestling program. A national champion this past season while wrestling in the 180-pound weight class, Phillips has been a top NJCAA wrestler for two years with the Lakers. Her 31-5 record, competing at a high level and becoming the first national champion in program history leave a lasting impact.

Phillips' incredible performances on the mat have racked up a few awards. Among them are two-time ICCAC Wrestler of the Week, two-time NJCAA All-American and national champion.

A true junior college inspiration story, Phillips has been an incredible asset in the community.
