Excel Wrestling expects over 200 wrestlers, coaches, parents and fans from both Wyoming and Colorado to attend the 4th Annual Tribute Dinner to honor Excel Wrestling's Hall of Heroes inductees on Sunday, December 19th at the Denver Athletic Club Ballroom.    This year's inductees are 2004 Olympic wrestling coaches and USA Wrestling National Team coaches Kevin Jackson (men's freestyle), Steve Fraser (Greco-Roman) and Terry Steiner (women's freestyle).    Steve Fraser will be honored, but is unable to attend the event.    This year's Tribute Dinner also honors some of the most outstanding high school wrestlers in the Rocky Mountain region. The Denver Athletic Club "Rocky Mountain Top 24" is sponsored by Coloradowrestling.com and is an award that will go to the 12 most outstanding wrestlers in both Wyoming and Colorado on the high school level. Wrestlers will be presented a very special plaque at the Tribute Dinner on behalf of Coloradowrestling.com and the Denver Athletic Club.    Excel Wrestling organizes and conducts USA Wrestling Junior Olympic Programs in both Wyoming and Colorado.  The Excel Tribute Dinner is an opportunity to raise funds for need-based scholarship athletes who participate in these year-round training programs.    Due to the establishment of the Lyn Crumley Scholarship Fund, Excel Wrestling has provided scholarships for more than 100 wrestlers over the past nine years, several of whom went on to win high school state titles.      The Excel Tribute Dinner is a night of honor, inspiration and motivation. The Excel staff intends to make this an enjoyable and memorable evening for you and your family. For reservation information, please call (303) 841-4028. All dinner reservations must be received no later than December 15th.
