Team Strengths:
The major strengths of our team are the number of girls we have out as well as the
blend of youth and experience throughout the team. We should be able to fill nearly
every weight class and that will make us more competitive from a team standpoint. We
have returning wrestlers with some experience that are going to understand how things
work a little bit, but they are also getting challenged by some newcomers. Our practice
room is going to a place where we don’t shy away from competition and it’s expected
that our varsity/upperclassmen/returning wrestlers get pushed by everyone else.
Team Concerns:
The major question as of now is wondering how we will respond when the lights come
on and you’re in varsity competition. Filling a lineup is great, but you don’t have a true
understanding of the quality of your lineup when you’re just in practice. Wrestling, and
especially girls wrestling at this stage, is a unique sport in that you could wrestle a first
year wrestler one match and a state qualifier 30 minutes later. The importance of how
we respond to the physicality and mental/physical grind of varsity competition is
something that we are very open about and something we will continue to stress.
Season Outlook:
Our season outlook is extremely positive and we are embracing the high expectations
we have of ourselves. We have two returning state qualifiers - Daniela Salinas (100)
and Angie Rivera (135) - that are looking to get back to Coralville. We’re looking to lean
on their experience and leadership to help the girls at the weights around them improve
to become a solid varsity lineup.
