Letter From Chuck Yagla:  

Hey all –   Happy Holidays!  I have volunteered to help raise money for the Hawkeye Wrestling Club (HWC) this year to hopefully help send some athletes to London for the 2012 Olympics.  Back in my competitive days I represented the HWC in the Olympic styles and was able to continue my competitive career in part because of the funding I received from this club!  It enabled me to keep training while also working as an assistant wrestling coach at the University of Iowa and ultimately helped me earn a spot on the 1980 USA Olympic Freestyle Wrestling Team!  Of course you all know that we  ended up boycotting the Olympics that were to be held in Moscow, but for me I consider it my greatest accomplishment in wrestling to earn a spot on the Olympic Team!

I am joining the HWC athletes along with the Brands brothers, Coach Ferentz and many others in the Polar Plunge to be held on Saturday, Jan. 28th in Riverside, Iowa!  I’m sure the water will be pretty cold and I don’t intend to stay in for very long as I am not a very good swimmer!  I have set a goal of raising $1,000 for the HWC so please help me reach my goal by making a donation in whatever amount you feel appropriate!
