Tournament Highlights

*Wrestling on 16 mats in Penn State's home gym.

*One day tournament with wrestling usually completed in the midafternoon.

*Penn State and Nittany Lion Wrestling Club Clothing will be sold.

Clinic Highlights

*The Clinics are held in the Penn State Wrestling Room with the clinicians being the wrestlers and coaches of the Nittany Lion Wrestling Club.

*The Clinics are a great opportunity to learn some technique and to also get autographs from and take pictures with some of the top wrestlers in the U.S. and the World.

*While the featured and additional clinicians plan to be at the Clinics, these wrestlers are actively competing, and there is always a possibility that a clinician could be out-of-town due to competition, travel, or training camp.
