Take a look at WIN Magazine’s latest issue

The month of January is especially important to wrestling in that it is when some of the most high-profile dual meets take place … and that is what happened at the NWCA Multi-Division National Duals that took place at the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls, Iowa.

WIN Magazine was there to capture the biggest moments where Northern Iowa (Div. I), St. Cloud State (Div. II), Augsburg (Div. III) and Grand View (NAIA) won championships; as did Iowa (NCAA) and Life (NAIA) in women’s wrestling.

You will find those stories and plenty more in the latest issue, which was printed on Jan. 23 and is already available in digital form.
