DeKALB, Ill. - The Northern Open Wrestling Challenge, held July 12 at the NIU Convocation Center, has limited places available for wrestlers in all age brackets.

The double-elimination individual tournament features six age brackets, ranging from eight-years-old and under to high school. Wrestlers can register and weigh-in at the North side of the Convocation Center from 8-9 a.m. the morning of the event.

The registration fee is $15 for athletes already enrolled in an NIU Wrestling Camp, and $25 for those wrestlers who are not registered for an NIU Camp.

Registration is also still open for the Individual Camp, held July 13-17. The camp features special guest clinician Tim Hartung, a two-time NCAA Champion from Minnesota.
