    Haselrig, Bunch to go 'On the Mat' this week

    Six-time NCAA champion Carlton Haselrig and 2009 World Team Trials champion Shawn Bunch will be radio show guests Wednesday night.

    Carlton Haselrig won three NCAA Division II wrestling titles at heavyweight for University of Pittsburgh-Johnstown in the 1980s. He also won three NCAA Division I titles, back when Division II and III champions were allowed to compete in the Division I tournament. Although he didn’t play college football, Haselrig was selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 1989 draft and earned Pro Bowl status as an offensive guard in 1992. He is currently training and fighting in Mixed Martial Arts out of his hometown, Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Haselrig will be one of more than 20 celebrities participating in the 10th Annual Celebrity Golf Tournament in Waterloo, Iowa on July 10, a fundraising event for the Dan Gable International Wrestling Institute & Museum.

    Shawn Bunch won the 132-pound freestyle division at the World Team Trials last month by defeating Mike Zadick in consecutive matches in the finals. A two-time NCAA All-American at Edinboro University, Bunch placed second and third in the nation in 2005 and 2006 at 133 pounds. A native of Leavenworth, Kansas, he will be competing in his first World Championships in September in Herning, Denmark.

    “On the Mat" can be heard live on the Internet at www.kcnzam.com or locally in Northeast Iowa each Wednesday from 5:00 - 6:00 PM Central time on AM 1650, The Fan. Feel free to e-mail radio@wrestlingmuseum.org with any questions or comments about the show.
