The celebration, which takes place on Saturday, October 18th at Manheim Township High School, will include a two-hour clinic by Dan Gable.
Following the conclusion of the clinic, there will be a lunch at the high school. Gable will be the honored guest speaker.
"We've been successful in growing our youth club and building a new facility. We're trying to grow and rejuvenate the sport of wrestling," said Paul Lopez of the Manheim Township Mat Club. "Bringing in someone like Dan Gable raises the awareness of the importance of the sport and what one can accomplish."
Gable began his legacy as a wrestler at Iowa State, where he won two NCAA titles. His combined prep and collegiate record was 182-1. Following his career at Iowa State, Gable won the 1971 World Championship and 1972 Munich Olympics, where he did not surrender a point.
