Fareway Stores, Inc. and Body Armor present the Dan Gable Mr. and Ms. Wrestler of the Year Awards in coordination with IAwrestle and IWCOA.
The IWCOA accepted nominations from high school coaches for student-athletes in each of the three state wrestling classes for the men and combined all classes for the women’s award, regardless of their year in school and weight class. A committee selected by the IWCOA recently provided IAwrestle with a list of 7 finalist candidates for public input.
Fans have the ability to vote once per day for their top wrestler in each category until February 7th, where it will be narrowed down to the top 3. (Top-voted wrestler receives a nomination)
Another round of voting will take place to determine the three finalists. The fan votes will count as ONE vote towards the IWCOA’s committee votes in EACH round. Where a wrestler finishes in the poll does not guarantee advancement to the next round. Only the winner of the poll receives a nomination for the next round.
(For example: Wrestler A received enough fan votes to place second in the poll but that does not guarantee them to move on to the next round. IWCOA has selected 12 coaches and officials for this committee. The fan vote, this poll is the 13th vote to break up any ties.)
All finalists will be invited to the season end gala, where a winner will be announced in each class. (Location and date TBD)
The two runner-up student-athletes in each class 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.
VOTE ONCE EVERY 24 HOURS. WAIT A FULL 24 HOURS. (FOR EXAMPLE: YOU CAN’T VOTE TUESDAY AT 8PM AND THEN WEDNESDAY AT 8AM BECAUSE IT IS A NEW DAY. 24 HOURS MEANS 24 HOURS)

Did anyone figure out how Lopez cheated?
New London has an Athletics Facebook page followed by the community and alumni. They post everyday reminding/ask for everyone to go vote for him and it worked. The community and alumni are very supportive.
Maybe he just has a lot of support!
That’s kind of rude
It appears that the community got behind this young man. New London has always had a great social media support of all their athletes, in all the sports.
Show some sportsmanship. Lopez has support from New London, Fort Madison, Iowa City, TEXAS AND MEXICO! Jus to name a few. He deserves every single vote he got.
Is it IP address or individual? What a joke!
The poll looks at IP address
