The Hawkeye Wrestling Club announced the addition of four wrestlers joining the club. These are all great editions to the HWC. Having three women wrestlers join the club also helps further solidify the commitment that the HWC has to promoting women’s wrestling.
Forrest Molinari, 65 kg. Molinari recently made her first Women’s World team at 65 kg by winning the Final X series. She is currently ranked #3 in the world. Molinari will represent Team USA in the Women’s World Freestyle Championships in October in Budapest, Hungary. Molinari will also represent Team USA at the U23 World Championships in November in Bucharest, Romania.
Kayla Miracle, 62 kg. Miracle just wrapped up her collegiate career as a four-time WCWA national champion at Campbellsville University. Miracle is currently ranked #1 in the world at 62 kg and will represent Team USA at the U23 World Championships in November.
Michaela Beck, 57 kg. Beck placed second at the U.S. Open this past spring as a senior in high school and placed second in the 2018 World Team Trials this summer. Her mom was a graduate of the University of Iowa.
Nodirjon Safarov, 57 kg. Safarov is a world class wrestler at 57 kg who placed 8th in the 2017 World Freestyle Championships. He actually dropped a match to our own Thomas Gilman in the quarterfinals of the World’s last year. Safarov will compete for his home country of Uzbekistan at the World Championships in Budapest in October. The level of competition for the light weights just went up another notch in the Iowa Wrestling room with this edition.
This is all great news to see the HWC continue to grow and bring in world class elite wrestlers.
