The Iowa wrestling team has announced the starting times for this week’s wrestle-offs.

The intrasquad competition, which helps determine the team’s starting lineup to open the season, will begin at 4:45 p.m. Thursday , continue at 4:15 p.m. Friday, and conclude at 8:45 a.m. Saturday.

The wrestle-offs will be held in the Dan Gable Wrestling Complex in Carver-Hawkeye Arena. They are open to the public, but parking will be limited; the Athletics Department suggests fans use the hospital parking ramp.

Attendees should enter Carver-Hawkeye through the north entrance of the Dale and Marilyn Howard Family Pavilion, the arena’s recently completed addition, and take the stairs or elevator to the second floor. The Gable Wrestling Complex is down the hall across from the practice gym.

The Hawkeyes will begin their season Nov. 19 at the Lindenwood University Open. The team will host its first home competition at the Iowa City Duals on Nov. 25.

Iowa’s annual media day will take place this afternoon; log on to dailyiowan.com for coverage.
