    Manning to coach at NWCA All-Star Classic

    Lincoln-Nebraska Head Coach Mark Manning has been invited by the National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) to be an honorary coach at the 2008 NWCA All-Star Classic. The event, which attempts to pair the two top-ranked wrestlers at each weight class in an exhibition match, will be hosted by Ohio State at St. John Arena at 7 p.m. on Nov. 24. Manning joins Ohio State's Tom Ryan, Minnesota State Mankato's Jim Makovsky and Wisconsin-LaCrosse's Dave Malecek as honorary coaches.

    Manning earned the honor after leading the Huskers to a fourth-place team finish at the NCAA Championships last season. The finish was NU's highest ever under Manning and its best showing since 1993. Manning also claimed Big 12 Coach-of-the-Year honors by guiding Nebraska to a second-place finish at the Big 12 Championships, with three Huskers earning individual titles.

    Manning and the Huskers start their 2008-09 dual season with a 7 p.m. showdown against Tennessee-Chattanooga in the NU Coliseum on Nov. 20.
