Few Spots Remain Open For Iowa Elite Chevy Youth Wrestling Clinic

Jan. 14, 2011

PARDON OUR PROGRESS! As friends of the UI and fans of the Hawkeyes know, the UI Athletics Department is well into a multi-million dollar revitalization of Carver-Hawkeye Arena. This important and exciting project has reduced for this season the number of ticket windows that are operational on game nights. Fans attending the home events of the 2010-11 UI men’s basketball, women’s basketball and wrestling teams are invited to avoid game night delays by purchasing their event tickets online or in advance of game day. If your schedule doesn’t allow for an advance purchase, we recommend you consider arriving at the Arena a little earlier than originally planned. Go Hawks!

IOWA CITY, Iowa — A few spots are still available for the annual Iowa Elite Chevy Youth Wrestling Clinic will be held Jan. 22 in Carver-Hawkeye Arena prior to the Iowa vs. Ohio State dual.
