Oregon State Wrestling Fans,
Summer
is rolling on by and that means the 2018-19 Wrestling season is
creeping a little closer every day! A few items of interest have crossed
my desk in recent days.
First
up, the Board is getting ready to start work on FALL Club activities
for the upcoming season. The Board could really use some new volunteer
members! We need replacements for our Parent Reps with Ken & Andrea
Tobin moving on with the graduation of their son Izaak. Anyone who is
willing and able to help out would be welcome! It does help if you live
fairly close to the Corvallis area, or at least in the Willamette
Valley.
Next,
Steve Thorpe, Sweet Home High School's wrestling coach and former
Oregon State Wrestler was elected as chairman of the state chairman's
committee for USA Wrestling. Congratulations, Steve! You can read more
about it in an article in the Corvalllis Gazette Times.
Amar
Dhesi should have had his wrestle-off for the top spot on the Canadian
World Team yesterday, but I have not been able to find out the result.

Ron
Iwasaki sent a photo with former wrestler Brian Engdahl. Brian is
following his dream and has taken a job as Head Brewer for Ancestry Brewing in Tualatin, Oregon. Way to go, Brian! Thanks for sharing, Ron!
Last
but not least, the latest news from the Coaches. If you haven't read
their newsletter yet, find it here, below my signature. One item from
their note - Jason Lara has joined the OSU Coaching staff. Welcome back,
Jason!
Go Beavs!

begin the BEST program. Through this program, they'll learn studying
strategies and how to balance their workload. It will help make the
transition from high school to college much smoother.
In

18, for the Canadian World Team spot. Taylor Meeks will be heading up
