Tickets will go on sale Nov. 1 for the 2008 National Wrestling Coaches Association/Cliff Keen National Duals, which will take place Jan. 12-13, 2008, in the UNI-Dome.

Top wrestlers from each collegiate athletic division (Divison I, II, III, NAIA, JUCO, NWCA and Women's) will compete for a national dual title. The NWCA/Cliff Keen National Duals is one of the largest collegiate national sporting events in the country, with more than 1,400 wrestlers and 80 teams attending.

UNI has served as the host for the event the past two years and has a combined attendance of more than 28,500 fans (13,380 in 2006 and 15,190 in 2007).

"We are extremely excited to have the largest collegiate athletic event at one of the most capable hosting institutions in the country," said Mike Moyer, NWCA Executive Director. "There is such a large representation of Iowa wrestling programs at the event. There are few other places in the country where we could have such a strong fan base. There has been fantastic community support and UNI has shown that is has the resources in place to put on great wrestling events."

Thirteen teams from the state of Iowa will compete, including UNI (I), Iowa (I), Iowa State (I), Upper Iowa (II), Buena Vista (III), Coe (III), Cornell (III), Luther (III), Wartburg (III), Morningside (NAIA), William Penn (NAIA), Northwestern (NAIA) and Iowa Central (NJCAA).
