    Todd to headline Wolverines' free clinic

    ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan wrestling program will host a free wrestling clinic on Sunday, Jan. 2, from 10 a.m.-noon at the Bahna Wrestling Center. The clinic is open to all ages and skill levels and will feature technique and practice-planning instruction from Wolverine All-American Tyrel Todd (2006-09) as well as members of the U-M coaching staff. Video cameras will be permitted.

    As a Wolverine wrestler, Todd was a three-time NCAA All-American -- at 184 (2007, '08) and 197 (2009) pounds -- earning national finishes of third, fourth and fifth place. He captured the Big Ten 197-pound title as a senior (2009) and won the prestigious Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational at 184 pounds in 2007. Todd posted a 121-30 career record, including a 54-11 mark in dual meets, to rank 16th among Michigan's all-time winningest wrestlers. He accumulated 22 career falls, leading the team with 10 during his senior season. A two-time team captain, Todd garnered Big Ten Distinguished Scholar (2009) and Academic All-Big Ten (2006) honors off the mat.

    Todd has also excelled in freestyle wrestling, placing fourth at the 2008 Olympic Trials and fifth at the 2007 U.S. Open in the 84 kg/185-pound division. He is currently training for the 2012 Olympic Games and is in his first season as an assistant coach at Cal Poly.

    The Wolverines will hold an open practice, beginning at 1 p.m., following the clinic. All participants are invited to remain at the Bahna Wrestling Center to observe practice.

    For any further information regarding the clinic, please contact the Michigan wrestling office at 734-647-1223.
