West Burlington, IA- The Iowa Community College Athletic Association (ICCAC) released their Athletes of the Week for January 5th through the 11th and for the second time this season a member of the Southeastern Community College’s women’s wrestling team was adorned with the honor.
Kiara Rodriguez, in the 180-pound weight class, ripped off three wins by fall at the Lakeland Scramble this past weekend before earning 3rd place by forfeit as she had defeated Upper Iowa’s Mya Mendoza earlier in the tournament.
That brings her record to 7-3 on the season through her two tournament appearances. The Burlington alum, who qualified for the state tournament in 2024 and 2025 and finished in 8th place in her senior season, was the first to sign on to join the nascent program. She joins Evelyn Phillips as the other Blackhawk to earn ICCAC Women’s Wrestler of the Week.
Southeastern Community College is back in action tomorrow, January 15th, on the road against Iowa Central Community College.
