    Davis, Whitmer to go 'On the Mat'

    Jennifer Pharr Davis, current speed record holder for thru-hiking on the Appalachian Trail, and Jessie Whitmer, 1997 NCAA wrestling champion at 118 pounds, will go "On the Mat" this Wednesday, August 10.

    "On the Mat" is a presentation of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum. The show can be heard live on the Internet at www.kcnzam.com or locally in Northeast Iowa each Wednesday from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. Central on AM 1650, The Fan.

    An archive of the show can be found on www.themat.tv.

    E-mail radio@wrestlingmuseum.org with any questions or comments about the show.

    During the months of August and September the National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum will conduct “champions” interviews with champion athletes and coaches outside the sport of wrestling. There will also be regular interviews with wrestlers and coaches.

    This week's champion interview is with Jenn Pharr Davis. Pharr Davis recently broke speed record for thru-hiking on the Appalachian Trail -- a 2,175 mile hiking trail that covers 14 states on the east coast. Her time of 46 days, 11 hours, and 20 minutes translates to an average of 47 miles a day.

    Whitmer was an NCAA champion for the University of Iowa in 1997 at 118 pounds. His individual championship was part of the all-time NCAA wrestling championship point record set at the UNI Dome in Cedar Falls, Iowa.
