The past Navy Wrestling Reunions in 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002 and 2004 have been huge successes. Each reunion was attended by over 250 people, including former wrestlers, family, friends, fans, and even Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, in 2002.
Saturday night's match will also be the final home action for 15 Navy seniors. During its four years at Navy, the senior class has posted a record of 47-15 (.758 winning percentage), won three All-Academy Championships, two Navy Classics and will go for its fourth win over Army in as many tries.
Lastly, Saturday's match will be televised nationally by CSTV, on a tape-delayed basis. The first airing will be Sunday night at 10:00 p.m., EST. Jason Knapp and Ken Chertow will provide all the commentary.
The Mids lead the all-time series with Army, 39-5-5, including having won five matches in a row. In the last 43 matches between the two teams, Navy owns a 37-1-5 all-time record, with the lone loss coming in the 1996-97 season.
For ticket information, please contact the Naval Academy Athletic Association ticket office at 1-800-US4-NAVY. Fans wishing to attend the event may either walk onto the Yard with a proper ID, or park at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, for a $5 charge, and ride a shuttle bus to Alumni Hall.
Come on out and support the Midshipmen in their final home wrestling action of the season.
