Tryouts set for Team Michigan at the Dapper Dan


3/8 - Michigan has been chosen to wrestle their team of seniors against Western Pennsylvania on March 27th at 4pm preceding the Dapper Dan Wrestling Classic.

This will mark the first time ever that Michigan will take an entire team to wrestle in this prestigous "Wrestling Event, often referred to as the "ROSE BOWL" of wrestling.. You can check the history of the Dapper Dan at www.wrestlingclassic.com.

Team Michigan will be comprised of any Michigan senior who makes the team. Tryouts and 3 open room sessions will take place on Thursday, March 10th, Tuesday, March 15th and Thursday March 17th from 6pm-730pm at the IM West building in East Lansing-Michigan State University wrestling room.

A special congratulations to Mason's Conor Youtsey who will be wrestling in the Dapper Dan Classic for Team USA, which will immediately follow Team Michigan Vs. Western Pa., at 6pm the 27th.

Mark Churella will be the guest speaker at this years event. Mark wrestled in the inaugural Dapper Dan in 1974-75. Since Mark, there have been quite a few Michigan wrestlers to wrestle. Last year, Jackson Morse and Ryen Niemen both wrestled while over the years names like Roger Kish, Nick and Andy Simmons just to name a few, have represented the state of Michigan at the Dapper Dan.

Team Michigan will be sponsored by MYWAY who will be providing transportation, meals, and lodging to this year's team of seniors.

Our team of leaders are working with the MHSAA and all participants of TEAM MICHIGAN will be eligible to do spring sports if that is a concern.
