just to let anyone who might be interested know that apple valley will be adding university freestyle to their tourney this year. i just wrestled at the owatonna open and had to chance to speak with dan crone's mother who is running the tourney this year and she said she'd definitely be adding a university division.
so all you post highschool and college guys get your singlets washed and come wrestle...

My mom just told me over the phone that she has had many calls of university aged kids interested in this event, so there will be more than just Dan wrestling there. I would suspect there will be a decent number of University participants.

The dates are the 11th for Greco (not sure on the turnout for this one), and the 12th for freestyle.

Matdog, I am not eligible. I retired 5 years ago, and am out of shape to boot. No trying to relive the glory days for this guy.

summer open? wheres that? and when? this is pretty cool now that there are more uni events springing up in good ol MN, i saw on USA wrestling that there are uni events all over the country but not too much around these parts (MN, ND, WIS) it always makes a tourney more fun when i get to wrestle as well as coach....then they get to coach me.....i seriously want to go to akron, first i have to solve the money issue and second i have to make sure it doesnt conflict with school stuff too much....i weighed in at otown around 47, but lately ive been weighing in at 43-44 if i can make it to akron i plan on going 38.75 i think it is? the conversion from kg to lbs gets me a bit.....

Yea I think it is this weekend. I think I'm gonna try to make it. Anyone with any insight know how many Univeristy level participants are expected? I don't want to show up and not get a match.

At the booster club meeting tonight we decided that because of Junior Greco State this weekend and the shortage of ref's that if the univeristy wrestlers would want to ref some matches their registration fees will be refunded.

I would say that they would be reffing on their own mats as they will probably be upstairs in the wrestling room and it would not make sense to have them wrestle upstairs and ref kids down in the gym, unless of course they want to.

looking at the flier I see that freestyle is a qualifier but Greco does not state it is a Qualifier for state. Does this sound correct? Looking at the print.

That's right, there are no qualifiers for MNUSA Greco state. Just Freestyle.

Kids/Cadets Greco state is an open tournament. For Freestyle you have to qualify through the open tournaments.

For Juniors (this weekend) both are open tournaments. Cadets (who are 9th grade and older) and all Juniors (those who are not cadets and still enrolled in HS) can compete this weekend at Augsburg.
