    Konrad and Reiter selected to participate in NWCA All-Star Classic

    University of Minnesota All-Americans Mack Reiter and Cole Konrad have been selected to participate in the 40th annual Marines All-Star Classic on Monday, Nov. 21, on the campus of Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Okla. The event attempts to pit the top two ranked wrestlers at each weight class in a dual meet format. College Sports Television will air the event tape-delayed on Wednesday, Nov. 23, at 7:30 p.m.

    Reiter will face Wisconsin senior Tom Clum at 133 pounds. Clum won a pair of tight decisions last year, including a 2-1 victory in the consolation finals at the NCAA Championships. A native of Gilbertville, Iowa, Reiter was the 2005 Big Ten Freshman of the Year after compiling a 40-7 overall record. Reiter was also named the Most Outstanding Wrestler at the Big Ten Championships after winning the title at 133 pounds.

    In a rematch of last year's NCAA heavyweight final, Konrad will meet two-time NCAA Champion Steve Mocco of Oklahoma State. Mocco won all three meetings between the two wrestlers with a pair of those wins coming in overtime. Konrad is ranked second in the nation entering his junior season. With a 41-3 record last year, he posted the fourth- highest win total in school history. Konrad is also the defending Big Ten Champion.

    Minnesota opens its 2005-06 season on Nov. 12 at the Bison Open. The Golden Gophers begin their dual meet season on Dec. 2 at Northern Iowa.
