The Iowa Women’s Wrestling team is off to a strong 3–0 start in duals to open the season. Coach Clarissa Chun’sHawkeyes return to Carver-Hawkeye Arena on December 7th, hosting Oklahoma State and 5th-ranked Colorado Mesa in a double dual, with bouts beginning at 2 p.m.

Last week, the Hawkeyes took part in the Throwdown on the Yorktown, competing on the flight deck of the USS Yorktown in Charleston Bay, South Carolina. Iowa rolled past 6th-ranked Presbyterian, 35–9, and Coach Chun says the team’s depth made a major impact — and will continue to be a deciding factor throughout the season.

This week on Fight for Iowa, we continue our conversation with Coach Chun as she breaks down the early success of her squad, the competitiveness in the room, and where she wants this team to grow next.

Veterans Day is set aside each November 11th to honor and thank all who have served honorably in the U.S. military — in war or in peace. This week, Gary Dolphin offers a standing ovation to the men and women who’ve answered the call to defend our nation. One of them is Green Beret Master Sergeant Mike McEmeel of Cedar Rapids, now President of the Galen Kittleson Iowa Chapter of the Special Forces Association.

McEmeel reflects on his service, the legacy of fellow Iowan and Special Forces legend Galen Kittleson, and the enduring brotherhood among America’s elite soldiers.

Thank you, veterans — from all of us at the Fight for Iowa Podcast. Go Hawks.
