Coach Steiner To Lead Fresno & Other Wrestling News

It is with a mixture of pride and sadness that I pass along the news that Coach Troy Steiner has accepted the Head Coaching position at Fresno, and will take charge of the revitalization of their wrestling program.

Pride in that Coach Steiner is one of the best; sadness because Troy has become a good friend, it has been a pleasure working with him, and he will be missed. I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say we wish you all the best, Troy! (Except when Fresno wrestles Oregon State, then I will be rooting for the Beavs!)

For more of the details, check out the article at this link from Intermat. Thanks to Craig Scharer for sending that link.

Found out we missed an honor picked up by one of the Beaver wrestlers recently. Izaak Tobin was named  Oregon State Men's Scholar Athlete of the Month for April. Congratulations, Izaak! You can see a picture of the notice here. Thanks to his Mom and FALL board member, Andrea Tobin, for sharing this news and the photo!
