    Northern Iowa awarded event through 2011

    The National Wrestling Coaches Association announced a two-year extension with the University of Northern Iowa as the host of the NWCA/Cliff Keen National Duals. This move was also approved by the NWCA's Board of Directors.

    The UNI-Dome will host the event for a fourth consecutive year on Jan. 10-11, 2009. The two-year extension will make the UNI-Dome the host site through the 2010 and 2011 seasons.

    "The staff at Northern Iowa and the representatives of the local visitors and conventions bureaus do an amazing amount of work and preparation for this event," said NWCA President Ron Mirikitani. "Just finding lodging for 80-something teams is hard enough, but they make it easy choice to continue to come back."

    The 2008 NWCA/Cliff Keen National Duals were named Event of the Year by the Cedar Valley Tourism Awards handed out last May.

    Attendance has grown through each of the first three years the event has been held at UNI.

    National Duals Attendance Figures:
    2006: 13,880
    2007: 15,190
    2008: 15,818
