AMES, Iowa – Iowa State, fresh off a Big 12 title and NCAA trophy finish, announced its 2024-25 wrestling schedule Wednesday, which includes home duals against Oklahoma State, Arizona State, Stanford and more.

“We’re really excited about how this season’s schedule came together,” head coach Kevin Dresser said. “I think we have some exciting and challenging matchups for our fans to come see in Hilton and our road schedule should prepare us nicely for March. This squad has the opportunity to build on last season and has the potential to do some special things. We’re excited to get rolling!”

There are 10 teams on Iowa State’s dual schedule that had a top-25 finish at the 2024 NCAA Championships, four of which placed inside the top 10.

Iowa State will open its season with back-to-back duals inside Hilton Coliseum against Stanford (Nov. 8) and Navy (Nov. 15). Five other dates round out the home schedule as ISU hosts the Cyclone Open (Jan. 19) and Oklahoma (Jan. 24), Oklahoma State (Jan. 26), Arizona State (Feb. 7) and Pittsburgh (Feb. 9).

The Cyclones hit the road this season for the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series dual against Iowa on Saturday, Nov. 23 in Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

Iowa State will look to defend its Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational team title at the 2024 rendition of the tournament Dec. 6-7 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. A week later, Dresser and the Cyclones will return to Humboldt, Iowa for a neutral site dual inside his high school gymnasium against North Dakota State (Dec. 15).

ISU will make its third consecutive appearance at the Collegiate Duals, which returns to Nashville, Tenn. again this season, on Dec. 21. Iowa State will wrestle three duals at the event against Lock Haven, North Carolina and Ohio State.

After a Big 12 dual at West Virginia (Jan. 8), the Cyclones will head farther east to Hampton, Virginia for the Virginia Duals on Jan. 11 where ISU will see Rider and Bucknell.

Following five consecutive home dates, Iowa State will close its regular season with three road duals – at South Dakota State (Feb. 14), Northern Iowa (Feb. 16) and Missouri (Feb. 22).

The 2025 Big 12 Championship (March 8-9) will be held at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Okla., while the NCAA Championships (March 20-22) will take place inside the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pa.
