The 2007 NCAA Champion Minnesota wrestling team will show off its national championship trophy at the Twins-Yankees game on Wednesday, April 11. 

The Golden Gophers will be recognized on the field during a pre-game ceremony and two-time All-American Mack Reiter will have the privilege of throwing out the ceremonial first pitch. The game is scheduled to begin at 7:10 p.m., at the Metrodome. Select members of the team will also participate in the tradition of leading "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the seventh-inning stretch.

The Gophers were also previously scheduled to be recognized at the State Capitol on Wednesday afternoon, but due to scheduling conflicts that appearance has been postponed to a later date to be determined.
