The All-Star Classic traditionally pits the No. 1 vs. No. 2 wrestlers in each weight class against each other. Herbert and Lang will enter the 2006-07 season ranked No. 1 in their respective weight classes.
At 141, Lang will face second-ranked Andy Simmons from Michigan State and Herbert will take on Minnesota's Roger Kish, ranked second at 184 lbs. Herbert defeated Nebraska's Jacob Klein in his first All-Star Classic appearance in 2005.
This year marks the first time Northwestern will have two representatives in the same year.
"This event recognizes the elite wrestlers in the country," head coach Tim Cysewski said. "It shows the wrestling world that Northwestern is continuing to evolve as a national power. We take the invitations very seriously and we plan to use this meet to set the stage for the 2006-07 season."
The 41st annual NWCA All-Star Classic takes place Nov. 20 at the Dallas Convention Center
