WATERLOO, Iowa—The National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum will host a special autograph signing with Dan Gable on Friday, Oct. 24 from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
The signing will take place at the Wellness and Recreation Center in Cedar Falls, Iowa prior to weigh-ins at the Cliff Keen USA Wrestling Pre-season Nationals.
This is one of USA Wrestling major events, taking place on October 25-26 at the UNI Dome on the campus of the University of Northern Iowa.
“USA Wrestling always puts on great events, and I’m proud to be part of this one,” said museum namesake Dan Gable. “I always enjoy coming back to my hometown.”
Gable is arguably the greatest athlete and coach ever. In 1972 won a gold medal at the Munich Olympics without surrendering a point. As the head coach at the University of Iowa he led the Hawkeyes to 15 NCAA team titles in 21 years, compiling a 355-21-5 dual meet record.
The UNI Dome has been an excellent facility for wrestling competitions. The UNI Dome was also where Dan Gable won his final NCAA tournament as the head coach of the Iowa Hawkeyes in 1997, setting the record for most points scored at 170.
That National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum is located at 303 Jefferson St. in Waterloo. For more information call (319) 233-0745 or e-mail dgmstaff@nwhof.org.
