(Corning) During the initial girls wrestling season sanctioned by the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union the SWAT Valkyrie team was made up of Atlantic, CAM, Griswold, Nodaway Valley, and SW Valley.
Moving forward, SW Valley will no longer be a part of the SWAT program. On the school’s Facebook page the district revealed, “The SW Valley Athletics Department would like to announce that SW Valley will now be providing our district with our won high school girls wrestling program. This past year working with SWAT (CAM, Nodaway Valley, Griswold, and Atlantic) went very well. Our girls were able to practice and compete with girls from a few different school districts. However we felt that moving forward it is in our district’s best interest to provide our girls an opportunity to compete for SW Valley.”
The post cited future transportation difficulties and the increased popularity of girls wrestling as reasons to make the change at this time. SW Valley wishes the SWAT program continued success in the future. They are excited to be able to grow their own girls wrestling program.
