“Only 60 colleges offer women’s wrestling nationwide, “ commented Waldorf Athletic Director Denny Jerome. “We are proud to offer another option to accommodate the growing demand among female athletes to compete in this popular sport.”

Men’s wrestling has been one of the most successful sports teams at Waldorf College for the past 30 years.

“It only makes sense that the state of Iowa has a women’s wrestling program and we are proud that Waldorf College has made the decision to lead the way, ” said Waldorf Head Men’s Wrestling Coach Tyler Brandt. “With over 50 wrestlers in the men’s program and an invitation to the National Duals, it is our expectation to grow the women’s program into an Elite Level Program just like we have done with the men’s program.”

Search for Wrestling Coach

Waldorf is now conducting a nationwide search for a women’s wrestling coach. Tyler Brandt, current men’s wrestling coach, was named interim women’s wrestling coach and will lead the current women wrestlers until a permanent coach is selected.
