AAU Wrestling Utah Hosting State Championships May
11-12
(Murray, Utah) May 3, 2007 — For the first time in more
than a decade, there will be an AAU state championships
held in Utah. The tournament will be held May 11-12, 2007,
at Murray High School, with state championships in
Greco-Roman wrestling on Friday, and freestyle wrestling
on Saturday.
"This is one more opportunity to win a state title,"
said Tournament Director Bill Kilpack. "It's open to all
ages, Flyweight through Open, and one more chance for
in-state mat time before the big tournaments this summer."
Entry fees are $15 per style and all participants must
have a current AAU athlete's membership. AAU cards will be
available on site or can be acquired in advance through
the mail for $14 or $16. The tournament is the qualifier
for Utah wrestlers wanting to compete in the AAU Grand
Nationals being held in Montana in June.
"I toured the Murray High School facility last week,
and it is awesome," Kilpack said. "It's very, very
exciting to bring some AAU wrestling back to Utah. I
really encourage Utah wrestlers to take advantage of this
opportunity."
