John and Mary Ann Colloton Wrestling ScholarshipThe Colloton Wrestling Scholarship, along with similar scholarships in football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball, was established in 1998 by a generous gift from longtime Hawkeye fans John and Mary Ann Colloton of Iowa City.

As part of that gift, the Gerdin Wrestling Scholarship was estab-lished. Russ Gerdin is the founder, former president, and chief execu-tive officer of Coralville-based trucking company Heartland Express, Inc. At the UI, they have supported the Russell A. and Ann Gerdin Athletic Learning Center, the UI Athletics Hall of Fame and Visitors Center, the J.

The Hawkeye Visions Endowment Program: Investing in a Winning Future, is an on-going campaign, which seeks to create endowed scholarships for all starting positions in UI athlet-ics. The program currently includes 122 fully endowed scholarships, 55 partially endowed scholarships, 25 scholarships that are in the development stages and approximately 30 fu-ture scholarship gifts. The following scholarships are fully or partially endowed awards, which are currently used by the University of Iowa wrestling program. These endowments provide annual earnings to help fund a wrestling scholarship (tuition, room, board, books and fees).

Gary Kurdelmeier Wrestling ScholarshipThe Gary Kurdelmeier Wrestling Scholarship was established by his fam-ily and friends as a tribute to the highly successful UI wrestler, coach and administrator following his death in 1998. Kurdelmeier graduated from the UI in 1959 where he was a Big Ten Champion, NCAA Champion and team captain for the Hawkeyes. He served as UI assistant wrestling coach from 1967-72 and then head coach from 1973-76. During his tenure, the Hawkeyes won three Big Ten Championships, two NCAA team titles and Kurdelmeier was named national coach of the year in 1975. He also se-cured the future of Iowa wrestling when he and former UI Athletic Direc-tor, Bump Elliott, hired Dan Gable as an assistant coach.

William and Kay Pitlik Wrestling ScholarshipBill and Kay Pitlik of Cedar Rapids, IA, first created an endowed scholar-ship in 1998 to show their love for the Hawkeyes. Both graduated from UI, Kay in 1952 and Bill in 1953. The Pitliks owned and operated Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company for many years in Cedar Rapids. Kay is an avid Hawkeye fan, and prior to Bill’s death in 2008, they also endowed scholarships in women’s basketball, softball and two in football.

They later moved to Manchester, IA, where he was the manager of the Delaware County Mutual Insurance As-sociation and opened his own insurance agency. They were very active in the community and proud supporters of the West Delaware and University of Iowa athletic teams. John passed away in 1989 and Dorothy in 1999.
