Tickets are on sale for the 2009 National Wrestling Coaches Association/Cliff Keen National Duals, which will take place Jan. 10-11, 2009, in the UNI-Dome.

Top wrestlers from each collegiate athletic division (Divison I, II, III, NAIA, JUCO and Women's) will compete for a national dual title. The NWCA/Cliff Keen National Duals is one of the largest collegiate national sporting events in the country, with more than 1,400 wrestlers and 80 teams attending.

UNI has served as the host for the event the past three years. The attendance figures have risen in each of the three seasons the event has taken place in the UNI-Dome. UNI drew 13,380 in 2006, 15,190 in 2007 and 15,818 in 2008. 

The NWCA also announced a two-year extension with UNI as the host of the NWCA/Cliff Keen National Duals. The two-year extension will make the UNI-Dome the host site through the 2010 and 2011 seasons. 

"The staff at Northern Iowa and the representatives of the local visitors and conventions bureaus do an amazing amount of work and preparation for this event," said NWCA President Ron Mirikitani. "Just finding lodging for 80-something teams is hard enough, but they make it easy choice to continue to come back." 

The 2008 NWCA/Cliff Keen National Duals were named Event of the Year by the Cedar Valley Tourism Awards handed out last May. 

Sixteen teams from the state of Iowa will compete, including UNI (I), Iowa (I), Iowa State (I), Upper Iowa (II), Buena Vista (III), Coe (III), Cornell (III), Dubuque (III), Luther (III), Wartburg (III), Briar Cliff (NAIA), Morningside (NAIA), Northwestern (NAIA), Ellsworth (NJCAA), Iowa Central (NJCAA) and North Iowa Area (NJCAA). 

Tickets may be purchased by contacting the UNI-Dome box office at 877-216-DOME or 319-273-4849.
