For the second straight year, the Missouri Valley Women's International Open will be hosted on the campus of Missouri Valley College in Marshall, Mo. The competition will be held at Georgia Burns Athletic Center on Saturday, January 26.    Many top U.S. women's college wrestling teams and clubs have committed to participate, and international athletes have been invited.    Missouri Valley College is one of the five U.S. colleges to sponsor a varsity women's wrestling team. Missouri Valley College is currently the No. 1 ranked team in both TheMat.com North American Women's College Wrestling Poll, as well as TheMat.com U.S. Women's College Wrestling Team Rankings.    During the 2001 season, Missouri Valley College claimed the team title at the U.S. Women's National Championships and the University National Championships.    This will mark the first international women's wrestling tournament held in the United States that will utilize the new international weight classes. Athletes and coaches should note that the event flyer lists the old weight classes, because it was printed before FILA announced the new weights.     These new weight classes are:  48 kg (105.5 lbs.)  51 kg (112 lbs.)  55 kg (121 lbs.)  59 kg (130 lbs.)  63 kg (138.5 lbs.)  67 kg (147.5 lbs.)  72 kg (158.5 lbs.)     In addition, the event organizers have added an extra eighth weight, the 77 kg class. This weight is used by Canadian and U.S. college programs as the top weight class in their college competitions.    77 kg (169.5 lbs.)    Athletes, please note that there will be a 2 kg weight allowance added to each of these eight weight classes at weigh-in.    The U.S. college programs that are expected to enter the tournament include Missouri Valley College, the Univ. of Minnesota-Morris, Cumberland College and Neosho County CC. In addition, individual athletes from USA Wrestling's top women's wrestling clubs are also expected to attend.    The Missouri Valley International Open is a Senior-level event, which provides the opportunity for some top high school athletes to test themselves against Senior-level competitors, as well as visit the Missouri Valley College campus. The Senior age level includes athletes born in 1982 or before, with those born in 1983-1985 permitted to participate with a medical certificate.  This means that any athlete who turns 17 years old during the 2002 calendar year may wrestle in this event with the medical certificate.    Registration is at 4:00 p.m., with weigh-ins at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, January 25. There is a $30 entry fee, and all participants must be USA Wrestling members. On Saturday, January 26, preliminaries will begin at 9:00 a.m., and the women's finals will begin at 2:00 p.m. (A men's open college tournament will be held alongside the women's international event).
