Coaches,

 

The MTSU Alumni Duals will be held on Nov 21-22, 2014 at the NEW Stewarts Creek H.S.

 

15 of the 16 teams that competed last season are returning with the 16th likely to be as well.

 

The tournament is looking to expand to 20 teams to give 7 duals to each team over the 2-day tournament.  The competition will be held on 7 mats in 2 large gymnasiums with a college dual tournament run side-by-side on Saturday Nov 22nd featuring MTSU, Cumberland (NCAA-D2 transitioning team), Arkansas Baptist (NJCAA), Williams Baptist (new NAIA program in Arkansas), Huntingdon College (new NCAA-D3 program in Alabama), and likely Liberty (NCWA-D1 runners-up in 2014), UT-Knoxville, and Memphis.

 

High School teams competing:

 

Bearden

Beech

Centennial

Dickson County

Eagleville

Hardin Valley

Lebanon

Oakland

Ravenwood

Rossview

Smyrna

Stewarts Creek

Summit (likely)

West Creek

White House

Wilson Central

 

preference will be given to teams with a MTSU Alumni connection (i.e. Coach on staff that wrestled at MT or a H.S. with a current wrestler on the MT squad).

 

preference will also be given to teams from Memphis and Chattanooga to be able to split up the pools more even by region.

 

Day 1 will be Pool Rounds based on seeding.  Day 2 will be cross-pools made up of the winners from each pool into a new pool, 2nd place in each pool, etc...

 

Cost is $250 per team payable to the MTSU Wrestling Foundation.

 

If interested in being one of the added 4 teams, e-mail me at coach.knepperATgmail.com

This is a great recruiting atmosphere for teams with Juniors and Seniors looking to connect with college wrestling coaches at the NJCAA, NAIA, NCWA, or NCAA level.
