CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – UNI Wrestling began a crowdfunding project Wednesday to help raise funds to upgrade the wrestling room in historic West Gym.
"When I first got the job nine years ago, I got these mats redone," head coach Doug Schwab said. "I talked with coach (Dan) Gable before I got the job and I asked, 'what's important, what should I really look for,' and he said, 'the mats.' We are on these things every day. We pour our blood sweat and tears and our craft is on this mat."
The current mats are nine years old and well past their expected lifetime and the team is looking to Panther fans to help cover some of the cost.
