    Date change for Augsburg six-decade celebration

    MINNEAPOLIS -- The Augsburg College wrestling program is celebrating "Six Decades of Dominance" in the 2009-10 season, and will have a special alumni, family and friends celebration weekend on Friday, Jan. 22, 2010 (PLEASE NOTE DATE CHANGE) at the Kennedy Center, prior to Augsburg's home dual meet with the University of Nebraska-Omaha at Si Melby Hall.

    The Auggie wrestling tradition started in 1949, and over the past 60 years, the Auggies have become one of the most dominant programs in the country in small-college wrestling, with both athletic and academic excellence as the program's hallmarks.

    Alumni, family and friends are invited to return to Augsburg on Jan. 22 for a special celebration of 60 years of Augsburg wrestling history. Check-in begins at 4:30 p.m. at the Kennedy Center, with a social, heavy hors d' oeuvres and program at 5 p.m. Celebration attendees receive complimentary admission to the 7 p.m. dual meet between Augsburg and Nebraska-Omaha. A post-meet social will follow at Sgt. Preston's (in the Seven Corners area of Minneapolis) at 9 p.m.

    If you are interested in attending, fill out the updated RSVP form (available at http://athletics.augsburg.edu/news/2009/9/17/wres091709a.aspx?path=wrestling ) and return it by Dec. 31 to head coach Mark Matzek at matzek@augsburg.edu.

    For more information on the wrestling weekend, contact Mark Matzek at 612-330-1116 or matzek@augsburg.edu.
