Iowa Lakes Community College welcomes Corey Meyer back to Iowa Lakes Athletics as he returns to serve as Head Men's Wrestling Coach and Completion Specialist, pending board approval, bringing strong knowledge of wrestling, community colleges, and the college student experience. Previously, Coach Meyer spent four years as an Assistant Wrestling Coach at Iowa Lakes before joining the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Wrestling coaching staff for the last two seasons.

He understands community colleges and what it takes to be successful. Our wrestling program will flourish under Corey's leadership," explained Troy Larson, Athletic Director at Iowa Lakes.

At the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, Coach Meyer focused on technique development, individual workouts, recruiting, and travel planning.
