The Iowa women’s wrestling team made history as the first Power Five university to establish a varsity team, producing national champions and All-Americans in its inaugural season, and now is the subject of a new documentary.
FloSports announced the debut of a three-part documentary series chronicling all the behind-the-scenes and on the mat excitement during Iowa’s season with “HAWKEYES – The First Season with Iowa Women’s Wrestling.” The first episode will have its streaming world premiere exclusively during Who’s Number One in “Wrestletown USA” – Coralville, Iowa – on FloWrestling, October 11. See trailer here.
“HAWKEYES – The First Season with Iowa Women’s Wrestling” gives viewers an unprecedented look inside at the historic first season for the program. It tells the story of the Hawkeyes’ season-long battle against North Central College and the down-to-the-wire finish at the 2025 National Duals and the National Collegiate Women’s Wrestling Championships.
It also features backstories from several of the athletes, including Kylie Welker, Bella Mir, Lily Luft, Felicity Taylor and others. Viewers will discover how wrestling intertwines with the universal themes of love, loss, and family.
The series will stream exclusively on FloWrestling with new episodes releasing October 22 and October 29. The Big Ten Network will air the series later in the season.
