Jake Kadel Takes William Penn Job After Iowa Wesleyan Closes School – FloWrestling
Iowa Wesleyan closed your complete college and wrestling coach Jake Kadel didn’t see it coming.
Simply to be clear, the college didn’t drop the wrestling program. The Mount Vernon-based college will stop to exist after this semester.
“From all of the conversations I had I believed we had been financially steady,” Kadel mentioned. “It seems it wasn’t the case. The group goes to be affected by it with all that the college gives. No person knew, I’m assuming, apart from administration and the board of trustees.”
Kadel led the boys’s and ladies’s groups so he and his assistant, Money Wilke, had been out of a job. It was a matter of minutes earlier than others got here calling for Kadel, Wilcke, and many of the wrestlers on the group.
“The principle concern for the coaches was that now we have to maintain these groups collectively,” Kadel mentioned. “That’s why we needed to have a group assembly instantly to inform them instantly that you simply’re going to get pulled away however we don’t know all the small print but.
“As soon as the information got here out it was open season for all these faculties to flock in and decide our groups aside. A few of that’s tremendous irritating. It’s robust attempting to grasp all that.”
Kadel’s subsequent step is preserving the boys’s and ladies’s groups collectively and to proceed teaching with Wilcke. That led to his resolution to just accept the top ladies’s job at William Penn College in Oskaloosa, Iowa. Wilcke will help Kadel and present head males’s coach Aron Scott with each packages.
William Penn will honor scholarships and grades for any member of the Iowa Wesleyan group who needs to switch.
Adaugo Nwachukwu, Mia Palumbo, and Janida Garcia — three of the largest names in ladies’s wrestling — must decide on what’s subsequent.
Kadel wouldn’t converse on behalf of Nwachukwu — the reigning two-time NAIA champion at 136 kilos — however he’s hopeful she’s going to be part of him in Oskaloosa after serving to her develop in Mount Vernon.
“Adaugo goes to have a tough resolution to make,” Kadel mentioned. “She’s getting bombarded by everyone in America. We put in loads of time to develop her and she or he’s gotten a ton higher since she’s been right here.
“She’s principally household to us. She’s the one who’s going to should make that tough resolution.”
Garcia, a high highschool prospect who at present trains with the Elite Accelerator Program in Colorado Springs, will doubtless go the place Nwachukwu goes.
Palumbo, a returning two-time nationwide finalist at 109 kilos, has indicated to Kadel that she’s going to switch to William Penn.
No matter what occurs subsequent, Kadel is barely centered on one factor: Girls’s Nationwide in Spokane, Washington, on April 14-16.
“Skylar Hattendorf doesn’t care if Adaugo is feeling down,” Kadel mentioned. “She’s attempting to take her U20 World group spot.”

Colley’s Method was created by Wes Colley, Ph.D., an astrophysicist at the University of Alabama at Huntsville. He devised his algorithm to help address the subjectivity and controversy regarding BCS college football selections in the 1990s and early 2000s, using a method that used no subjective variables.
