Davis has been selected as one of the coaches for the classic and Henning will wrestle at 157 lbs. against Big Ten Conference opponent Mike Poeta from Illinois. Both wrestlers faced each other at the 2007 Big Ten Championship. The third-seeded Henning upset top-seeded Poeta with a 7-2 decision in the third-place match. Both Henning and Poeta earned All-American status at the 2007 NCAA Championship with their second and third place finishes, respectively.
Henning is ranked No. 1 in two preseason polls and is the first Wisconsin grappler to be named an NWCA All-Star since current assistant coach Donny Pritzlaff in 2001. Eight other Big Ten wrestlers were also selected to compete at the classic.
