New wrestling mats to honor Greg Strobel

Beaver Wrestling Supporters, I wanted to give more information on the fundraising of the new mats for the practice room which will honor Greg Strobel.  This is a $100,000 initiative and thanks to the generosity of 3 families, we’re already up to $35K.  Donations are being collected by The OSU Foundation and are tax deductible.  Please check out the link below which has a rendering of the mats featuring Strobel holding his 1973 Outstanding Wrestler trophy.  This reminder of Strobel will continue to inspire greatness in the wrestling room and in life.    www.ourbeavernation.com/strobel   Greg Strobel is one of the reasons that I grew up to be a college wrestling fan.  My earliest memory of him was when he was a brand new coach at Lehigh (a place I'd never heard of) and brought his team to Corvallis for the Oregon Classic and a dual meet, in which the Beavs blanked the Mountain Hawks, 44-0.  Afterwards, Dale Thomas told him, “Strobes, you need a new team.”  Fast forward a few years and I never would have guessed that I’d end up in Bethlehem, PA attending Lehigh, where the only person I knew was Strobel.  I think the two of us were the only Beaver-Mountain Hawk wrestling hybrids.  He left this world way too early, but I’m grateful for the fun times shared and memories I'll smile about til I'm old and gray.      Earlier we heard teammates Larry Bielenberg, Tommy Phillips and Ron Sather share about Strobel on the Joe Beaver Radio Show.  Below is a link to a podcast by Lehigh with an interview by Chris Ayers and Pat Santoro.  They do mention the 1996 Oregon State trip a couple of times and the razzing on Strobel had me laughing.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Wishing all a safe and joyous New Year! Go Beavs! Jana Iwasaki Pat Santoro & Chris Ayres '99 remember Greg Strobel   Lehigh wrestling head coach Pat Santoro and current Princeton wrestling head coach Chris Ayres '99 joined the show to tell incredible stories of the late, great former Lehigh wrestling coach and administrator Greg Strobel, who passed away on Oct. 8 at the age of 68. The two go in depth on the life and coaching career of Strobel, who had such a large impact on many people.   Click HERE to listen to the podcast, or find Mountain Hawk Talk where ever you listen to your podcasts (available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify).

Updates from The Fall - Happy New Year!

 

Happy New Year, Beaver Wrestling Supporters!  Hope you all are enjoying the holidays, no matter how different they are in 2020.  I realized this is turning into a long email, so I will give the highlights first!

 

·         Coach P’s wife Selanèe is expecting their first baby around Jan 21.  The coaching staff is building their own family wrestling team, as this little guy or girl will join twins Breck and Brody Engel born on Sept 13.  We can’t wait for when we can meet in person!

 

·         The competition season is finally here!  First up, the Beavs will be away this weekend in Fargo for a quadrangular on Jan 3 with ND State, SD State and Missouri.  The action starts at 8am, Pacific.  Evan, will you stream on Facebook?

 

·         There will be Zoom calls a few days after the meets this season, where several of the wrestlers will give updates and answer questions from the chat.  I was told that the first one is slotted for Tuesday, Jan 5 to recap the team’s travels to chilly Fargo.  Stay tuned for the invite.

 

·         With no home meets and no post-meet socials this season, we will not be registering membership for The Fall.  For those of you who have already sent money, I’ll be reaching out to you individually regarding refunds.  Instead, we encourage consideration of donations toward The Wrestling Endowment Fund and buying new wrestling mats for the Dale Thomas Wrestling Room.  Please follow up with me if you have questions!

 

***********

Thanks to longtime Fall board member, Craig Scharer for help with the following updates.

 

The season schedule is posted:

https://osubeavers.com/sports/wrestling/schedule

 

There are 2 home meets in Gill Coliseum, on Jan 30 and Feb 7, but due to COVID-19, sadly no fans will be in the stands.  Oregon State will also host the Pac-12 championships (date has not been finalized, but it will likely be one week earlier than typical to allow for quarantining).  The good news is it will be televised on the Pac-12 network. Coach P confirmed that the NCAA tournament will be a full 32-participant bracket.

 

The NDSU schedule says some of their matches will be on BEK TV, and we’re not sure if there’s a livestream and if there’s a cost.  https://www.bek.tv/schedule#/

Our condolences to the Bielenberg family who recently lost their brother John, age 53, in a traffic accident. John was the youngest of 10 siblings and a member of the OSU Wrestling team in 1985-86.  I can only imagine how competitive the dinner table must have been during their youth!  Larry and Chris, our hearts go out to you.

The team roster is online, so be sure to visit that if you haven't already.  Another big announcement, the Beaver Dam Regional Training Center signed world medalist and US Open Champ, Alyssa Lampe.  Very exciting news!!

Membership for The Fall Fan Club will look different this year and we're still finalizing with the coaching staff.  Hopefully we'll have an update for you on that soon.  For those of you who have already sent in payments, thank you, I know who you are!

Happy holidays, 

Go Beavs!

November Newsletter

BEAVER DAM REGIONAL TRAINING CENTER

We are happy to announce that within the last couple of weeks that we have made some BIG moves with our Beaver Dam Regional Training Center.

• We have launched our website, TheDamRTC.org, which will be a place where our alumni and fans can visit to get information on our goals for the organization, get updates on training center schedule and upcoming camps, and explore different avenues on how you can support the RTC. Subscribe to our email list for updates: https://www.thedamrtc.org/news
• You can find our RTC on Twitter and Instagram @TheDamRTC!
• We launched our Beaver Dam Gear Store, which is also located on our website, TheDamRTC.org
  • We are proud to have partnered with RUDIS for gear to help outfit our RTC athletes and supporters. RUDIS is a lifestyle and wrestling-specific brand that is owned and operated by wrestlers. Not only is the material quality and one of our very own, Assistant Coach Isaiah Martinez, has been a sponsored athlete for them since May 2018. In order to keep price down we are doing limited runs on each item so DO NOT WAIT! Our store closes November 19^th, 2020. This will ensure that all orders will be delivered before Christmas, just in time for Santa (or Hanukah Harry) to bring it down the chimney for the family!

• We launched our Dam Wine & Wrestle Club, which can be accessed through our RTC website, or through this direct link: https://give.cardwellhillwine.com/
  • If your wife is upset at all the wrestling gear you already have, then we have another way you can support and make her smile! We are excited to announce our partnership with Cardwell Hill Cellars, a local award-winning winery. Theyve been gracious enough to work with us in starting a wine club dedicated to our supporters where a portion of the proceeds will be given to our RTC to help raise funding. Wine can either be delivered right to your doorstep or available for local pickup.
  • Starting out you will have 3 different wines to choose from: Ros, Estate Pinot Noir, and Barrel Select Pinot Noir. Orders will be done by the case (12) and you will have the option to mix and match all three!
  • Lastly, these orders can be one-time buys or you can subscribe for deliveries to be either: monthly, quarterly, or semi-annually.

• We launched our Charitable Donation Page which can be accessed through our website or this link:  https://www.thedamrtc.org/donate
  • If youre not interested in sweet RUDIS gear or delicious award-winning wine then we do have a charitable donation page. The Beaver Dam RTC operates as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization powered by donors, sponsors, and supporters both locally and nationally who share a common interest in the growth and preservation of the sport of wrestling. You can make a one-time donation or pledge our donation amount monthly. These donations can be tax deductible
    • The Dam RTC's goal is to support multiple senior level athletes as they compete on the international wrestling circuit during the current Olympic cycle
    • Our organization provides world class training opportunities for elite developmental athletes while also playing an active role in both our local communities and the greater Pacific Northwest wrestling community

 

If someone you know might be interested in any of the aforementioned ideas, we ask that you please share and help spread the word!
