Note From the Coaches' Corner - October 27

The most recent note from the Oregon State Wrestling Coaches:

Wrestling fans-

We hope everyone is having a great fall and getting ready for another wrestling season. We have completed our pre-season training phase and are now prepping for the 2016-2017 season that is just around the corner. Here are some upcoming dates and events to be aware of:

This Saturday, October 29th- open practice for the fans, supporters and families. Practice starts at 4:30 in The Dale Thomas Wrestling Room in The SPC.

We are just one week from The Black and Orange Intrasquad at Gill Coliseum. You can see many of the Beavs in action, next Thursday- November 3rd at 7 PM.

On Sunday, November 6th- Oregon State will have a contingent  of athletes compete at The Mike Clock Open at Pacific University. We should have at least 20 or so wrestlers competing.

The Beavers kick off the dual season on November 12th in Boone, North Carolina as we take on Appalachian State and Duke University.

We host our annual Making a Difference Tournament for youth wrestlers through High School on November 13th. Registration is now available at www.trackwrestling.com. This has been a great event for kids from all over the Northwest and we appreciate the support. We are excited once again to be hosting at OSU!

Our home opener will be November 20th against The University of Michigan. Michigan enters the season with a pre-season ranking of #8, while the Beavers are #16.  It should be a great way to kick off the home schedule.

Season Tickets are now on sale at the OSU Ticket Office. Call 541-737-2050 to make your order. The home schedule this year includes Michigan, Stanford, ASU, Cal Poly and Cal State Bakersfield. The Pac 12 Championships this year will be February 26th at Stanford. Make plans to be a part of the always great Oregon State contingent of fans. OSU will once again have our clock of tickets at the NCAA Championships as well. They will be available at a later date through the ticket office, please let me know if you are interested in being a part of the OSU block.

Oregon State returns seven wrestlers with previous NCAA experience. The team starts the season with six wrestlers in the national rankings and plenty to prove. We are looking to do some great things this year and have a good mix of veterans and youngsters that are eager to step up to the challenges ahead. We have two new staff members in former OSU All-American Taylor Meeks, as well as 3x NCAA All-American Ian Miller, formerly of Kent State University.

Have a great fall and we look forward to seeing many of you in a wrestling arena very soon.
