SH will love this. Iowa college adds womens wrestling

[clenz]

Supply and demand have delivered Iowa's first college-level women's wrestling program.

Waldorf announced earlier this week it will add women's wrestling for 2010-11. A few days later, Waldorf had landed its first recruit simply because wrestling-crazy Iowa provided the sport.

Terry Steiner, the U.S. women's national coach and former standout at Iowa, welcomed the news.

"In the state of Iowa where wrestling is so important, I think it's a step in the right direction," he said.


Waldorf, a private college of about 500 students in Forest City, is the 14th women's college program in North America. All of the teams except Pacific (NCAA) compete in the NAIA. Two, Simon Fraser and Regina, are in Canada.

Tyler Brandt, Waldorf's men's coach and interim women's coach, said the program meets a need.

"There are maybe 40, 50, 60 girls wrestling at the high school level (in Iowa)," Brandt said. "Now they don't have to go to North Dakota, Oklahoma or Michigan. They can stay right here."
Mike Moyer, executive director of the National Wrestling Coaches Association, pointed to Georgia and Texas as other examples.

Georgia has 299 boys' high school wrestling teams, but had no college team until Shorter College introduced a men's squad for 2010. Texas has 250 high school teams for boys and 200 for girls, but Wayland Baptist was the first to launch men's and women's wrestling for 2010.

Waldorf hopes to place 10 women on the roster this season, with a future goal of 30 to 40 — a sizeable addition for a small campus.
A survey by the National Federation of State High School Associations showed 6,025 girls participated in wrestling in 2008-09 - compared with 267,378 boys over the same period. There are 260 four-year colleges offering men's wrestling.

Brandt said the cost to add the program is small.

"We already have the wrestling room," he said. "Really, it's travel and singlets and warm-ups."

Women's wrestling, an Olympic discipline since 2004, helped attract Julie Johnsen to Waldorf.
Johnsen wrestled while growing up in Underwood, but quit to pursue sports like basketball. She resumed wrestling as a senior in Friend, Neb., and had to compete against boys, as do girls in Iowa.

The lack of women's wrestling in high schools poses a challenge to those looking for college options.

"That's our fight right now," Steiner said.

Johnsen planned to attend Iowa State in the fall. When she talked to Brandt at the junior nationals in Fargo, N.D., in July, though, she reconsidered. She toured Waldorf's campus on Wednesday then verbally committed Thursday.
"This should have happened years ago," Johnsen said. "Why not have a women's program?"

Steiner said the United States is slow to act.

"We're definitely behind," he said. "We're like 15 years back. Yeah, I'd say it's long overdue."

Waldorf awards some athletic scholarships, but is not aligned with a conference.

Brandt said the team will enter seven to 10 events this season, starting with the Sunkist International Open in Tempe, Ariz., in October. Brandt will serve as coach until a nationwide search is completed.
Steiner stressed the importance of hiring the right coach. He struggled to adjust to women's wrestling when he started with the national team in 2002.

Questions Steiner faced: Which places were inappropriate to touch when demonstrating technique? Should he say chest or breast?

"I also understood that was my problem," he said. "It's a fear of how do I do this without sticking my foot in my mouth? The girls just need to know that I'm sincere.

"If they put the wrong person in place it could be a black eye. If they put the right person in place, it could be a great thing."

I'm a big fan of women's wrestling like SH is. I have one site that I like to watch where the girls really go at it and they try to suffocate each other with their cooters and butts. It's really a fantastic sport.

Pesonally I love watching two women wrestle in the mud, always a chance the bikini top will come flying off too! This is the best thing the NCAA has done in years.

The ones I watch they don't even use bikini tops bhb. No sense in having useless equipment and wasting money on it I guess.

Resisting the urge to be indecent about this (unlike others around here), this could benefit the U.S. National Team and provide a basis for feeding into WWE. Kurt Angle, Shelton Benjamin, and a few others have paved THAT road.

You know what they say SH, if it's long enough, hard enough, and in far enough then it indecent.

Iowa women would beat any man from outside of Iowa

Glad to hear they're already well trained.

Hasn't it always been referenced that Iowa women were the US' answer to ending the East German Olympic dominance? It's hard to tell a man & woman apart out there...

That's not even the most interesting part of that statement. He use the words "Resisting the urge" which would infer that he actually has indecent urges.

Are you fucking shittin' me? I have never seen any inkling that he has ever even considered women as sexual beings. If he does then why would he suppress his natural feelings? This fucker just added a whole new wing in his warehouse of insanity.

Are these women? If not, what do they have to do with women's wrestling?


You know what....don't answer that , I really don't care. Honestly, I really, really, really don't care. This has as much relevance in my life as The Bee.

No sir, you are incorrect. That is very strange and interesting I will admit but it is the usual kind of crazy that we've come to expect. The other part that I noted is something completely new.

Ursie is correct here. Apparently we've unpeeled another layer of this onion we call they.

the Joo's viewpoint cannot be overlooked though.

Both items in this story need to be considered very carefully.

I agree with him as to his assessment on his point but it's the new shiny spot that caught my eye first.

I said YOU are incorrect, sir. Now, take your beating like AZ and don't walk away.










You're point is more interesting in the attempt to understand "they," I'm just trying to stir the pot based off of one of they's previous post in another thread.

I said YOU are incorrect, sir.

and that is exactly where you were wrong.

We really shouldn't be fighting over these scraps with this veritable feast still sitting in front of us though.

Fight away you two....the more often you reply, the better chance this thread stays on page 1, which means there is a better chance that they chimes in and we find out how deep this hole of complexity really is.

This is one of the great things about CS. Days ago I read the first post to see if it was a joke. It wasn't, so I haven't looked at the thread again. Now I see it's still active, so I see what's up...

If I had just read one more post I would see the thread got fun. Ursus, is that Ultimatesurrender.com?

It most certainly is.

It's down right now though.

If you know the names of your favorite "fighters" (and I know you do) you can find the matches at tubepornstars.com

WHAT NATIONAL TEAM ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT SH!!!!?????

The team of women wrestlers who will compete for the US in the next Olympic games.

(I know none of you smartasses really care about the actual sport. but I figured I'd give an actual answer anyway)
