Registration is open to all alumni, families, fans, friends and supporters of Michigan wrestling and the Cliff Keen WC and includes a full day of golf, fun, food and prizes.
Alumni Tailgate: Held in conjunction with a home Michigan football game on a fall Saturday in Ann Arbor, the Alumni Tailgate is located off Main Street in the shadow of the Big House and is open to Michigan wrestling alumni, current parents and donors to the Cliff Keen WC. The tailgate typically starts three hours prior to kickoff. Attendees without football tickets are welcome to watch the game on satellite TV from our tailgate spot.
NCAA Social: A celebration marking the culmination of the NCAA Championships and the collegiate wrestling season, the NCAA Social is open to alumni, parents, NCAA ticket holders and supporters. Appetizers and a cash bar are included, while attendees have the opportunity to hear from Michigan coaches and wrestlers in a private and reserved space near the competition venue.
