"On the Mat" is a weekly wrestling radio program that airs every Wednesday night. This week's broadcast can be heard live from 6-7 p.m. Central Standard Time. The Dan Gable International Wrestling Institute and Museum in Waterloo, Iowa, hosts the show.
Oostendorp is the currently the head wrestling coach at Coe College. The Kohawks placed fourth at the 2008 Division III NCAA tournament and Oostendorp was named 2008 National Wrestling Coach of the Year. This year's Coe team had five All-Americans and its first NCAA champion in school history.
As a wrestler, Oostendorp was a two-time All-American at the University of Iowa. He was also a member of several Greco-Roman national teams and participated in the 1995 World Championships.
Kieta, a former wrestler who is blind in both eyes, used his wrestling skills to overpower an intruder and hold the man at knifepoint until help arrived. The story has received prominent national attention from the media. Indianapolis police called the event one of the most incredible tales of citizen self-defense they had encountered.
Kieta will discuss the event and how he used his wrestling background in the altercation.
"On the Mat" can be heard live on the Internet at www.kcnzam.com or locally in Northeast Iowa on 1650, The Fan. Feel free to e-mail radio@wrestlingmuseum.org with questions or comments about the show.
