NIACC 2008 Wrestling Highlights Video

Welcome to the official website of NIACC wrestling! NIACC competes in the NJCAA, but boasts a schedule with many of the nation’s elite NCAA Division I and II teams year in and year out.

NIACC is located in Mason City, IA. Mason City and NIACC are small, but are just a couple of hours north of Des Moines and south of Minneapolis.   Student athletes can enjoy the personal attention of a small-town college as well as the benefits of a metro area.

Head Coach Richard Fergola and staff strive for a commitment to excellence when looking for potential recruits, not just the most successful athletes.

Expectations of the future are created by NIACC wrestling’s past success. The NIACC wrestling program originated in 1967 and survived until 1976. In those early years, the Trojans won a national championship in 1973 and earned a record of 126-18-2. Now, NIACC wrestling is heading back to the future to reclaim its position as a national wrestling powerhouse.  Success follows wrestlers off the mats as well.  The values of being a member of the NIACC wrestling team are the values that will remain forever.

“The experience of being a wrestler at NIACC provides a lifetime of rewards.  It gives them pride, character and confidence,” Head Coach Rich Fergola said.  When things get tough in life, they can come back to that experience of when it was tough in wrestling. Add NIACC's approach to academics, and we produce very well rounded individuals.”

In recruiting, Head Coach Richard Fergola looks for wrestlers with the attitude to match the team’s commitment to excellence.  We focus on academics first at NIACC,”Fergola said, and then wrestling.” One-on-one attention will not end at the doors of NIACC’s proposed new state-of-the-art recreational center.  With a small campus, coaches and faculty work together to make sure student athletes succeed in all their collegiate endeavors. NIACC prides itself on being a college that helps students get where they want to go.
