This is our second trip to Iowa this year!!
Northern Iowa, like Lehigh, has a strong wrestling tradition. Right after WWII UNI, which was called Iowa Teachers back then, had some great teams and won the NCAA team title in 1950. Gerry Leeman, who was Lehigh’s head wrestling coach for 18 years, won an NCAA individual title while at Northern Iowa.
Cedar Falls is not easy to get to, Des Moines is probably the closest major airport. I have been in the dome for a wrestling tournament that was using 18 mats.
