Several from the ISWA were in Colorado Springs last week as state association leaders from across the country came together with USA Wrestling to learn, share ideas, and help shape the future of wrestling.

The Summit provides valuable opportunities to strengthen state associations, share best practices, and bring new ideas back to Indiana to better serve our wrestlers, coaches, clubs, officials, and families.

We were also honored to attend the ribbon cutting for USA Wrestling’s new national office in Colorado Springs. This is an exciting milestone for USA Wrestling and the future of our sport.

A special congratulations to Pat Culp, who was named USA Wrestling State Chair of the Year and elected to continue serving as Secretary of USA Wrestling. We are proud of Pat’s leadership and her continued commitment to Indiana and wrestling across the country!
