USA Wrestling's National Freestyle Resident Coach Lincoln McIlravy will provide a free youth wrestling clinic for all ticket holders for the Little Caesars "Save USC Wrestling" Showdown. The competition is scheduled for the Univ. of Southern Colorado Massari Arena on Wednesday, Feb. 6.    McIlravy, a 2000 Olympic bronze medalist, a two-time World Championships medalist and a three-time NCAA champion, is considered one of the top wrestling clinicians in the nation.    McIlravy's clinic is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. on the competition mat, prior to the start of the World Dual meet. The competition, which features an all-star freestyle team from the United States against the national team from Belarus, will begin promptly at 7:30 p.m.    Proceeds from this event will support the USC ThunderWolf Wrestling Club and will also assist in the effort to reinstate the varsity wrestling program that was eliminated last year at USC.    As National Freestyle Resident Coach, McIlravy is responsible for training the U.S. Olympic Training Center freestyle resident athletes, and working with the elite freestyle athletes who come to Colorado Springs for specialized training.     McIlravy claimed a bronze medal at 69 kg/152 lbs. at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. He was a silver medalist at the 1999 World Championships and a bronze medalist at the 1998 World Championships. McIlravy also competed for the U.S. team at the 1997 World Championships.    He won four straight U.S. Freestyle Nationals gold medals (1997-2000) and was second in the 1996 U.S. Nationals. McIlravy was also third in the 1996 U.S. Olympic Team Trials. Among his major international titles were three World Cup gold medals (1998-2000), the 1999 Pan American Games, the 1998 Yarygin Tournament in Russia and the 1996 Sunkist Kids International Open.    McIlravy was one of the greatest U.S. college wrestlers in history, competing for the Univ. of Iowa. He won three NCAA Div. I national titles (1993, 1994, 1997) and was second in the 1995 NCAA Championships, with a 96-3 career record. Originally from Philip, S.D., McIlravy won five state high school titles, registering a  200-25 record,  and also won a  Junior Nationals freestyle title.    At the Univ. of Iowa, McIlravy served two seasons as an assistant coach for the Hawkeyes, and three seasons as a volunteer assistant coach. During his years on the coaching staff, Iowa won three NCAA Div. I titles and placed second once.    Once the clinic is over, wrestlers, coaches and fans will have a chance to watch some of the World's best international wrestlers in action.    The U.S. team will feature a number of top stars, including a number of U.S. Olympic Training Center resident athletes that live in Colorado Springs. In addition, local star Jason Tapia, a USC ThunderWolf Wrestling Club member and a two-time NCAA Div. II All-American, is scheduled to compete on the U.S. team.    Belarus is one of the top international freestyle wrestling nations in the world, placing 11th at the 2001 World Championships. The team is led by 2001 World Champion Herman Kontoev at 119 pounds. Complete USA and Belarus lineups will be announced when available.    World Dual meets are among the most popular events hosted by USA Wrestling.
