Corey Meyer is entering his third year as the Head Coach of the Men's Wrestling Program. Meyer is an accomplished wrestling coach with over 10 years of experience developing athletes at the High School, NJCAA, and NCAA DIII levels. Known for his commitment to building strong fundamentals, discipline, and character, Meyer has guided athletes to succeed both on and off the mat. Meyer has demonstrated success at every level throughout his coaching career, producing state qualifiers and All-Americans at every stop on his coaching journey, and helping athletes continue their careers at the collegiate level.

In just two years as head coach for the Lakers, Meyer has quickly demonstrated his ability to guide student athletes to victory on the mat and get the most out of the athletes under his tutelage. Both seasons under his guidance, the Laker produced All-Americans, sent a strong contingent to the National Tournament, finished in the top 25 in the country, and supported student-athletes in being awarded National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) Scholar All-Americans.   "We are excited to have Corey as our Head Wrestling Coach at Iowa Lakes. He has a great passion for wrestling and significant experience recruiting the right type of student-athletes. He has been successful at every stop of his coaching career, including at Iowa Lakes. He understands community colleges and what it takes to be successful. Our wrestling program will flourish under Corey's leadership," explained Troy Larson, Athletic Director.

Before taking over the Laker Wrestling program, he was an assistant at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.

Additionally, the Blugolds had 13 All-American Scholars and 8 NCAA qualifiers. His leadership has earned him recognition as part of the Upper Midwest Regional Coaching Staff of the Year for the 2021-2022 season.
