Amateur Wrestling News and the Peninsula Wrestling Association will provide a free webcast from the 2013 Virginia Duals on Friday and Saturday from the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Va.

The Virginia Duals, in its 33rd year, features six different divisions in college, high school and middle school. Five Top 25 teams highlight the National College Division, including ninth-ranked Central Michigan and 10th-ranked Virginia Tech.

Other ranked teams in the field include 16th-ranked Edinboro, 19th-ranked Virginia and 25th-ranked Old Dominion. 

The webcast will feature four of the 10 mats on the floor at the Coliseum, with coverage featuring the National College Division on Friday morning, starting at 9 a.m. and high school streams alternating during the afternoon and evening sessions. 

On Saturday, coverage will feature the 2 p.m. semifinals in the National College and National High School Divisions. Commentary will be provided by AWN Editor Jason Bryant. 

The National High School Division includes a talented field, led by South Plainfield (N.J.), McDonogh (Md.) and Virginia's Christiansburg and Colonial Forge High Schools. Two other divisions -- the American and Black & Blue Divisions -- feature a mix of Virginia teams along with programs from across the country. 

Great Bridge (Va.) and Fauquier (Va.) are the top seeds in those divisions. Longtime USA Wrestling physician Dr. Bernie Feldman will serve as the tournament's Grand Marshal prior to Saturday night's 8:30 p.m. final round.
