The University of Iowa announced today that the Hawks will be competing at National Duals.
The 2025 National Duals will be held at BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on November 15-16.
From HawkeyeSports.com:
The 16-team event will feature a total purse of more than $1 million. The top eight teams will each earn payouts, with the winning squad receiving $200,000. The second- and third-place teams will earn $150,000, while fourth place earns $75,000. Fifth through eighth place payouts will be: $50,000, $40,000, $25,000, and $20,000, respectively. All participating teams will receive $20,000 for attending.
Automatic entry is awarded to the top 12 teams in the final 2025 NCAA Division I standings (Penn State, Nebraska, Oklahoma State, Iowa, Minnesota, Ohio State, Cornell, NC State, Northern Iowa, Illinois, Virginia Tech and Michigan). To secure their spots, these 12 must complete their participation agreements by April 15.
The remaining spots will be filled through a random drawing on April 24 from teams that finished 13-24 in the NCAA standings (Purdue, Missouri, Lehigh, Pennsylvania, Little Rock, Arizona State, Stanford, West Virginia, Navy, Wyoming, South Dakota State, Indiana, Maryland and Oregon State).
Teams and the bracket will be listed at nationaldualsinvitational.com as they are confirmed.
Great move by Iowa to get back into National Duals. I have great memories of the past when the Hawks competed.
I always enjoyed seeing all of the college wrestling divisions.
I am looking forward to National Duals in November.
It is great to be an Iowa Wrestling fan.
Go Hawks!
