    Cornell College wrestle-offs added to RPW agenda

    As part of its North Region qualifying tournament which will be held on Saturday, November 4 in Mount Vernon, IA, RealProWrestling has announced Cornell College will also hold their wrestle-offs at 1:00PM, following the semi-final matches.

    Second year Cornell coach Mike Duroe is happy to include the wrestle-offs as part of the RPW event which includes Parent's Weekend for the Cornell wrestlers and he is also expecting several recruits to attend. Duroe felt there would be at least eight matches out of the 10 collegiate weight classes. The Rams won a school record 15 dual meets last season and return several starters, including All-American junior Chris Heilman at 125lbs.

    The International Wrestling Institue and Museum will also be on hand to promote it's move from Newton, IA to Waterloo, IA and the re-dedication of the museum to be named The Dan Gable International Wrestling Institue and Museum.

    Scott Casber from Takedown Radio will be present as well for the Fan Fest and will be broadcasting live in the afternoon and for the finals at 5:00PM.

    The Fan Fest will include a clinic with the University of Iowa coaching staff, Olympic Champions Dan Gable and Tom Brands. Also participating in the RPW Fan Fest clinic will be former Iowa standouts Wes Hand and Doug Schwab. Coaches are encouraged to bring their teams and wrestling shoes to come experience a great day of wrestling with a low-cost clinic!

    The first session is free to the public, including the Cornell wrestle-offs.

    The afternoon session is only $5 per individual, $20 per family, and $30 per team. This includes admission to the finals. Wrestling fans can watch all of the great action at the tournament and be a part of RPWs Fan Fest.

    Outstanding former college wrestlers from all NCAA divisions as well as NAIA and Junior Colleges will be represented in Mount Vernon.

    Wrestlers slated to compete include: Grant Nakamura(121), James Rollins(132), Dylan Long(145), Tyrone Woodley(163), Zac Dominguez(185), Israel Silva(211) and former Iowa Hawkeye football player Scott Pospisil(264).
