Two wrestlers to take to the mat at CIS Championship
Kippenhuck and Smith to compete at first nationals
Matt Kippenhuck and Jon Smith of the Sea~Hawks wrestling team will be headed to the University of Calgary this weekend for the 2010 Canadian Interuniversity Sport Wrestling Championships. They claimed a spot at nationals by finishing in the top two in their respective weight classes at the AUS Qualifying Meet in February.
Kippenhuck, a fourth year student from Charlottetown, Labrador,
will wrestle in the 68kg weight class. Jon Smith, a rookie from
Mount Pearl, will be wrestling in the 130kg weight class. They are
both competing in their first CIS Championships. They will be the
lone competitors from Memorial to advance. Memorial is one of
sixteen universities from around the country to compete in
nationals this year. UNB, the only other Atlantic representative
headed to Calgary, will send nine wrestlers to the big stage.
The championships get underway with preliminary rounds on Friday,
with placement and medal matches following Saturday. The bronze and
gold medal matches will be webcast live
beginning at 11:30 a.m. Mountain Time (3:00 p.m. NL time).
The 2010 CIS wrestling championships open with weigh-ins and
medical checks on Thursday, March 4 before competition begins
