Klein Selected to All-Star Classic

Nebraska senior 174-pound wrestler Jacob Klein was selected to participate in the 2005 NWCA All-Star Classic, held at Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater, Okla., on Monday, Nov. 21.

Klein, an All-American in 2004 at 165 pounds, will face Northwestern’s Jake Herbert at 174 pounds Monday night. Klein joins a talented field in which all 20 wrestlers have earned All-America honors, including his opponent, Herbert, who finished third last year at 174 pounds. The Big 12 Conference is also well-represented at the All-Star Classic, as Klein becomes the ninth wrestler from the conference to be invited to participate.

Klein was selected Wednesday to replace Iowa’s Mark Perry, who could not participate in the event.
