The sport continued to gain popularity and recognition, with many notable wrestlers and coaches emerging during this time period. Here is a brief overview of the history of men's high school and college wrestling in the 1970s: During the 1970s, high school wrestling continued to grow in popularity across the United States. Many states began to recognize wrestling as an official high school sport, and the number of participants and teams continued to increase. The decade also saw the emergence of several powerhouse wrestling programs, including Dan Gable's West Waterloo High School in Iowa, which won nine consecutive state championships in the 1970s. Some notable high school wrestlers from the 1970s include Bobby Weaver of Pennsylvania, who won a state championship in 1973 and went on to win a gold medal at the 1984 Olympics, and Mark Schultz of California, who won two state championships in the 1970s and later won a gold medal at the 1984 Olympics. College wrestling also continued to grow and evolve during the 1970s, with many talented wrestlers and coaches emerging during the decade. The 1970s saw the emergence of several powerhouse programs, including Iowa State University, Oklahoma State University, and the University of Iowa, all of which won multiple team national championships during the decade.

Iowa State University, located in Ames, Iowa, has a storied history of success in men's college wrestling. The program has produced many successful wrestlers and coaches and has won numerous team and individual championships over the years. Here is a brief history of Iowa State University men's college wrestling, with a focus on the 1970s: In the early 1970s, Iowa State's wrestling program was led by legendary coach Dr. Harold Nichols.

During the 1970s, Iowa State's wrestling team won several team national championships, including in 1970, 1972, 1973, and 1977. The Cyclones also produced numerous individual national champions during this time period, including two-time national champion Chuck Jean in 1970 and 1971, and Dan Gable, who won three national championships in 1970, 1971, and 1972. In addition to their success at the national level, Iowa State's wrestling program also dominated its conference competition during the 1970s. The Cyclones won several Big Eight Conference championships during the decade and produced many all-conference wrestlers. Some of Iowa State's notable opponents during the 1970s included other powerhouse wrestling programs such as the University of Iowa, the University of Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State University. Iowa State's dual meet against Oklahoma State in 1977, which was dubbed the "Dual of the Decade," is still considered one of the greatest matches in college wrestling history. Iowa State came out on top in that match, winning by a score of 18-16.
