ASU recap and reminders

 

Beaver Wrestling Supporters,

The meet on Sunday was close, but the Sun Devils took the win. Hunter Willits lost to #3 Jacori Teemer in OT despite Teemer stalling the entire bout. Grant Willits and Gas Tank Gary had major decisions. It was disappointing that ASU’s heavyweight Cohlton Schultz was competing in Greco at the Grand Prix of Zagreb in Croatia and did not wrestle Traub. Trey Munoz had another tech fall.

Friday will be our final home meet. There is still room at the pre-meet social, so if you are vaccinated and would like to attend, please RSVP to me for the details.

 

I share with sadness that Eleanor Piha, a longtime Oregon State Wrestling supporter has died. Eleanor happened to be a high school classmate of my great uncle in Hillsboro and she was married to Lou Piha, a 1948 conference wrestling champion for the Beavers at 125.5 lbs. I remember the Pihas being at every meet and banquet, and they supported numerous other programs at OSU as well.  They are greatly missed.

 

Eleanor Hanley Piha

March 6, 1920 – January 22, 2022

Eleanor Hanley Piha, 101, of Lebanon, died January 22, 2022, at Willamette Manor, in Lebanon.

Eleanor was born March 6, 1920, in Hillsboro, Oregon, in Washington County to parents, Albert and Anna Hanley. She had two sisters, Florence Britton (now deceased), and Aileen DeVos, of Springfield.

Eleanor attended a one room school near Hillsboro and graduated from Hillsboro High School in 1938. She spent one year at Pacific University and received a Bachelor of Science degree from Oregon College of Education (now Western Oregon University) in Monmouth. Eleanor spent 13 years as an elementary education teacher at Lyda School, in Washington County, Liberty School, in Tillamook, Central School, in Forest Grove, and Harding School, in Corvallis. She later did some substitute teaching.

Eleanor was married to Louise Piha on June 19, 1955 and had one son, Lynn Allen Piha ,in 1957 who lives in Lebanon. Eleanor is a former member of the Tualatin Plains Presbyterian Church, near Hillsboro. She is also a past board member of the Lebanon Hospital Auxiliary, past board member of the Lebanon-Sweet Home concert association, member of Chapter V. - P.E.O. Sisterhood, WOU Alumni Association, N.A.R.F.E, and the OSU Beaver Club. She enjoyed music, theater, reading, traveling, gardening, flowers and OSU college sports.

After Lou retired in 1985, they enjoyed traveling in many parts of the USA and also the South Pacific Islands. They were OSU Beaver season ticket holders for 37 years in football, men's and women's basketball, gymnastics, and wrestling. They enjoyed their family and great friends. Lou passed away in 2018.

Eleanor is survived by her son, Lynn Piha, and Billie Ortega, sister, Aileen and Herb DeVos, nephews, Bob Britton and Brad DeVos, and nieces Kendra Horn and Janelle Monell.
