Welcome to the Iowa Wrestling Hall of Fame
IWHOF Class of 2019 Steffensmeier, Buzzard, Bahr, Corso, Whitmer
Our Purpose
The Iowa Wrestling Hall of Fame seeks to promote amateur wrestling by honoring native Iowans.
The inaugural banquet was held in 1970. When we concluded the 50th annual awards banquet on April 08, 2019, our roster of inductees included 133 outstanding individuals for their contributions to amateur wrestling.
Join us every second Monday of April as we honor the latest Inductees into the Hall of Fame.
