    Nagel replaces Churella in All-Star Classic

    Golden Gopher Matt Nagel will join fellow All-Americans Mack Reiter and Cole Konrad at the 40th annual Marines All-Star Classic on Monday, Nov. 21, in Stillwater, Okla. Nagel will face top-ranked Johny Hendricks of Oklahoma State after Michigan's Ryan Churella withdrew from the event. The event attempts to pit the top two ranked wrestlers at each weight class in a dual meet format. College Sports Television will air the event tape- delayed on Wednesday, Nov. 23, at 7:30 p.m.

    Nagel is ranked fourth in the nation entering his senior season and got off to a strong start with a title at the Bison Open last Saturday. Nagel pinned his first three opponents in a total of 3:04 and then defeated former Golden Gopher Nate Baker of Minnesota State- Moorhead in the finals. The defending NCAA Champion, Hendricks narrowly defeated Nagel, 5-3, in overtime in the teams' dual meet a year ago.

    Reiter was originally scheduled to face Wisconsin's Tom Clum, but will now face Cal Poly's Darrell Vasquez of Cal Poly. Konrad will meet two-time NCAA Champion Steve Mocco of Oklahoma State.
