Slipped past my radar in the midst of state soccer, but Gracie Figueroa will be sticking around with the IWWC

She has been recovering from a knee injury, but clearly a good amount of faith here on Figueroa’s ability. She and Macey Kilty are a nice foundation for the club.

This week, IWWC Board President Josh Schamberger was hosted by the Ukrainian Wrestling Federation.

A Connection began in 2022 at UWW Women’s World Cup in Coralville, IA and has blossomed in the years since.

Gonzalez struck for a pair of double-leg takedowns after some early hand fighting, running a bar following the latter to end the match in style.
