A couple of late roster-related stories for Iowa wrestling today:

First, thanks to an initial heads up by one of the fine folks on this message board, I was able to report that Skye Realin would return for the Iowa women after being granted a medical waiver:



You can read more details on Realin - who owns a 29-2 career record as a Hawkeye (incl. 86.2% bonus) - in my quick write-up on the news:

Realin granted medical redshirt, rejoins Iowa roster for 2026-27 - On3

On the flip side, IA Wrestle's Ross Bartachek broke the news that Victor Voinovich has been denied his own medical waiver request - which would end his college career on the heels of a 9th place finish at Big Tens this past March, and a 23-12 overall record as a Hawkeye:

I’m sure VV is an outstanding man and a great American; however, I will not miss his style of wrestling. I wish him the best for a bright and successful post-college career!

Great news for Realin, let's hope she makes it healthy until the NCAA tournament finally. I think we would've won it last year if she had been there even with every break going McKendree's way via injury and DQ bonus points.

Wishing VV3 success in his freestyle ventures.

Any idea if the men's team will add another person to the roster now? Also, does this mean the women have to cut someone?
