Corey Muniz will lead the new program as the search begins for qualified female wrestlers, with the program slated to start in July 2023. Muniz is entering his first year as the Head Coach of the Women's program. He spent his last two years as a Graduate Assistant for the Men's Program.

In two years as an assistant for the Iowa Lakes Men's Wrestling Team, Muniz has found success with four wrestlers obtaining All-American status, two National Finalists, and one National Champion. Muniz also focused on the academic side of the sport with his student-athletes, with one athlete achieving Scholar All-American honors from the National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA).

Before coaching at Iowa Lakes, Muniz had a prolific wrestling career earning a spot on the Team Illinois Junior national team for Freestyle and Greco in 2014 and 2015, and wrestled at the collegiate level under Head Coach LeRoy Gardner for the University of The Ozarks' Eagles in Clarksville, Arkansas.

Muniz's collegiate-level wrestling record included winning over 70 matches with 11 falls, 11 tech falls, seven major decisions, and five decisions. Muniz won the Central College Under Armour Invitational, the Ouachita Baptist University Hatcher Invite, and the Luther College Gator "Boots" Dual. In addition, he placed second in the Oklahoma City Open, third at the Cornell College Mike Duroe Invitational, fourth at the Southeast Wrestling Conference, fourth at the Central Baptist College Wrestling Invitational, eighth in the Citrus Invitational, and a finalist at the Beaver Open.

As an Eagle, Muniz was named an All-American at the Greco-Roman U23 World Team Trials, Southeast Conference Wrestler of the Week, Breakthrough Athlete of the Year, and is a record holder of technical fall victories.

Muniz graduated in 2020 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of the Ozarks with minors in Accounting, Economics, Philosophy, and Quantitative Reasoning. Muniz then earned a master's degree in Corporate Finance Management from Upper Iowa University in 2023.

"I am beyond excited to be the first to lead this new program. Women's wrestling is one of the fastest-growing sports in the nation and for Iowa Lakes to create another opportunity for growth is amazing. I cannot wait to get back on campus and start building the team!" exclaimed Muniz.
