Fareway Stores, Inc. and Body Armor are proud to present the Inaugural Dan Gable Ms. Wrestler of the Year Awards in coordination with IAwrestle and IWCOA.
“This award has become a tradition in the state of Iowa and with the growth of girls wrestling it will be an honor to award them for their hard work.” said Jeff Stearns – VP Marketing & Advertising at Fareway Stores Inc
IAwrestle has nominated seven girls regardless of their year in school, weight and class to be in consideration for Ms. Wrestler of the Year.
Fans NOW have the ability to vote once per day for their top Mr. and Ms. wrestler until February 5th. (Top voted wrestler receives a nomination vote)
Another round of voting will take place to determine the three finalists. The fan votes will count as ONE vote towards the IAwrestle/IWCOA committee votes in EACH round. (The committee consists of four individuals with the fan nomination vote breaking any ties to determine winner)
All finalists will be invited to the season end luncheon gala in late February, where a winner will be announced for both Mr. and Ms. Wrestler of the Year.
The two runner-up student athletes will each receive finalist award plaques. A duplicate Wrestler of the Year trophy and duplicate Wrestler of the Year runner-up plaques will be provided to each high school where finalists attend, for permanent placement in the high school trophy case.
“The addition of this award couldn’t of came at a better time. Girls wrestling is thriving in Iowa and it’s time to start recognizing them on their achievements.” – Tony Hager – Co-Founder of IAwrestle.com
