  • Iowa Women's Wrestling Media Day: Head Coach Clarissa Chun

    Iowa Women's Wrestling Media Day: Head Coach Clarissa Chun
    Oct 15 2024
    On Iowa women’s wrestling media day, Iowa women’s wrestling coach Clarissa Chun addressed the upcoming season. The team returns nine All-Americans, including four defending national champions, and welcomes seven freshmen and four transfers.
    Chun highlighted the benefits of training in the new state-of-the-art Goschke Center and emphasized the importance of continuous improvement, rather than focusing solely on outcomes. She praised transfer Kennedy Blades for her quick integration into the team and discussed the growth of leadership within the program, particularly from the current juniors who have embraced guiding the newcomers.
    Chun also addressed the hunger and competitive spirit of the incoming freshmen, noting their desire to challenge for starting positions. Chun reflected on the culture established at Iowa, which has attracted top recruits and transfers, and expressed a desire to see more Division I programs, especially in Power Five conferences, add women’s wrestling. She also gave an update on injuries, stating that Nyla Valencia and Haley Ward will be out for the season but the rest of the roster is ready.
    Chun concluded by discussing the importance of international training opportunities, mentioning the recent collaboration with the Canadian team and last year’s experience with the Ukrainian team. She also previewed the upcoming U23 World Championships, where three Hawkeyes will compete, including Macey Kilty, Kylie Welker, and Skye Realin.

  • Cleaning up the Key Bridge with Kramer Whitelaw

    Cleaning up the Key Bridge with Kramer Whitelaw
    Jul 9 2024
    Kramer Whitelaw works as a deckhand with McAllister Towing in the Baltimore Harbor. In March, Merchant Vessel Dali slammed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge, causing it to collapse and close marine traffic in one of the busiest ports in the country.

    Whitelaw, a former wrestler at George Mason University and McDonogh School in Maryland and a current assistant high school wrestling coach, was part of the clean up crew and talks about the experience from a work perspective, from a perspective of being a former wrestler and as that of a Baltimore native.


    Whitelaw is still actively involved in the sport as a coach, but given his role with the company, he’s had to step back some, but still finds time to coach with former high school teammate Brynn Holmes at Gilman School and this week, is on the U20 Pan Am coaching staff for Team USA in Peru.

  • Dr. Brandon Mason, Wrestling's Radiologist

    Dr. Brandon Mason, Wrestling's Radiologist
    Jul 2 2024
    During Hall of Fame Honors Weekend in Stillwater, Oklahoma, we got a chance to get outside of central Stillwater for a bit and meet up with Dr. Brandon Mason. A four-time NCAA Division I qualifier and 2007 All-American at 174 pounds for Oklahoma State, Mason is now a radiologist at Stillwater Medical Center.

    Mason was also recently on a tour as the team doctor with USA Wrestling at the All-World qualifier in Istanbul. In this episode of Short Time, we break down Mason’s entry into wrestling coming from western Iowa and the famed Lewis Central High School program, his early desire to be a radiologist and how he ended back up in Stillwater.

    He’ll also touch on his career as a Cowboy, his relationship with recent inductee Coleman Scott and current Little Rock head coach Neil Erisman and what his experience as a wrestler has brought not just to his tours with Team USA, but his time back matside in Gallagher-Iba Arena as part of the wrestling program’s medical personnel.
