The InterMat Classic has provided junior and senior high wrestlers with an unbeatable opportunity to test themselves against the best wrestlers from the Midwest ... and beyond, with past champions from all over the United States.
Only one wrestler can claim five InterMat Classic titles: Mark Hall, 2017 NCAA champ for Penn State, tallied five straight InterMat Classic crowns as a wrestler at Minnesota's Apple Valley High School from 2011 through 2015.
In 2017, Alex Lloyd (Shakopee, Minn.) became a four-time InterMat Classic champion.
Other notable wrestlers who have participated in the InterMat Classic in the past include:
Great wrestling ... for a great cause
As in the past, proceeds from the InterMat Classic will go to the Justin Kukowski Foundation, a foundation whose mission is to fund research, development, to provide complementary alternative therapies and psychological support for cancer patients. In addition, it provides scholarships to cancer patients in need. The foundation is named in honor of Justin "JJ" Kukowski, an avid sports fan who passed away from cancer in 2007.
