WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The Purdue wrestling team will open the door to the 2013-14 season Saturday with its first practice. The Boilermakers invite all fans to watch practice in Lambert Fieldhouse from 9:30 - 11 a.m. ET. Fans checking out all of the festivities prior the Purdue football game are also welcome to check out the action.

 

On Friday during the Boiler Bridge Walk, held at the John T. Myers Pedestrian Bridge, fans will have the opportunity to mingle with the Purdue wrestling team and coaches. The Boiler Bridge Walk will start around 5:40 p.m., but fans should arrive early to get a good spot on the Myers Bridge.

 

The Boilermakers will have close to a month of practice before wrestling in their first event, the Michigan State Open, on Nov. 9.

 

 

**MEDIA NOTE**

Saturday’s practice is also open to the media. Head coach Scott Hinkel, along with requested student-athletes, will be available for interview at the conclusion of practice. Please see and/or contact Assistant Athletics Communications Director Amanda Dahl for the arrangement of interviews.
