2nd Open Practice - Oct. 20

A view of the practice room bleacher seats.
Yesterday was the 2nd open practice held as part of the weekend homecoming festivities.

The team doing pushups at the end of practice.
The intensity in the room is definitely high and the team is working extremely hard. Practice lasts about 1-1/2 hours with warm-ups, drills, intense one-on-one matches followed by wind sprints and calisthenics. If anyone wants to join in I'm sure they would make room for you!

The most striking thing was the intense level of competition in the room. This is a team that is serious and believes that they are ready to step up to the next level. I was especially impressed by how hard some of the younger folks were pushing the older guys during the one-on-ones. I believe some of the young guys could  make the lineup if the veterans don't stay on their toes!

I am confident that this team is headed in the right direction and is on the verge of becoming one of the top teams in the country. I think top five is not out of the question along with Penn State, Minnesota, Iowa, Oklahoma. I'm serious, I think this team is scratching at this door. If I were the coach of any of these teams I would not want to wrestle us in Gill!

The team and coaches deserve our support so show up whenever possible, cheer loud, and let the wrestlers know how proud you are of them.

Update Oct. 8

OS Wrestling Fans,

The 2012-2013 wrestling season is now "unofficially"  under way with the first of the Open Practices, this one unofficial, being held this past Saturday afternoon. It was good to see the team and the coaches getting back into action. For a couple of different takes, see the article and video on the OS website:
http://www.osubeavers.com/sports/m-wrestl/spec-rel/100612aaa.html
We also have a couple of photos posted on our Club website here:
http://osuwrestlingfall.blogspot.com/2012/10/open-practice-oct-6_7.html

Speaking of the FALL's website, we have started it up again for this year. Bookmark this site and then you can refer to it through the season to find all the email news that we send out as well as a membership form and other links:
http://osuwrestlingfall.blogspot.com/

If you have not received today's update from the coaches, it follows below my sign-off. Included are:the invitation to the Annual Parent/Fan Tailgater, the wrestling schedule, the Open Tournament schedule, (the tournaments not on the regular schedule, or available to all the wrestlers), and the FALL membership form.

One note on the schedule, the first meet with Boise will be held a Central Valley High School in Spokane, not in Boise.

Go Beavs!

Dear Wrestling Parents & The “Fall” Fan Club,

Welcome to the OS Wrestling Family, we are excited to have you apart of it.  Our belief is that the stronger we become as a family the stronger this program will become.  We are excited about the season that is rapidly approaching us.  Our pre-season training has started and we are now only about 4 weeks away from our first competition. 

We would like to invite you and your family to join us at our annual Wrestling Parent Tailgater on October 20, 2012.  The OS Wrestling Team will have a practice at 4:00 pm, 3 ½ hours prior to kickoff of the Utah vs. Oregon State Football Game (7:30pm).  We encourage you to come take a look at this year’s squad.  Then after the OS Wrestling practice come join at our wrestling tailgate, just outside the wrestling practice facility.  It will be great to get everyone together.  Please come join us!

If you would like to get tickets to the Utah vs. Oregon State Football Game just call the ticket office at 1800-go-beavs these tickets are getting hard to come by so you may want to call immediately. 

Over and out!

Thanks,
OS Wrestling Staff

OSU Wrestling on TV!

The following is re-blogged from the OSUBeavers site:
 
"CORVALLIS, Ore. –The Oregon State wrestling team will have two of its matches televised on the newly formed Pac-12 Networks this winter in addition to the Pac-12 Championships, which take place at the end of the regular season.
The Beavers, ranked pre-season No. 9 by D1 College Wrestling, will be on TV for their first home match of 2013, when they host Boise State, Jan. 5 in Gill Coliseum. Their second televised match will take place Feb. 9 against Arizona State, also in Corvallis.
Oregon State matches make-up half of all the live wrestling broadcasts on the Pac-12 Networks during the 2012-13 regular season, with Arizona State the only other school to appear on the channel more than once.
The Pac-12 Championships are hosted by the Sun Devils and will take place on March 2, in Tempe. Last year Oregon State finished first in the event taking home the school’s second conference title in three seasons."

Application for Membership - Contact Elizabeth


If you need an application or have a suggestion for the Booster Board, contact Elizabeth at oregon.state.wrestling.boosters@gmail.com. Also, we are still looking for volunteers to help with the socials and other club activities, no experience necessary!


Open Practice - Oct. 6

This was the first open practice for 2012. If you've not attended one yet you should definitely put the next one (Oct. 20, 4pm) on your calendar. Open practices are usually scheduled on Saturdays in October, 3 to 3-1/2 hours before the home football game so you get a chance to see the wrestlers practice, get something to eat then head over to the game.

All practices are held in the Sports Performance Center (2nd floor) next to the stadium, entrance is across the parking lot from Gill. Go up the stairs and turn right at the Legends of OSU Wrestling wall (below).

Entering the OSU wrestling practice facility you are greeted by Legends of OSU Wrestling (left to right) - Dale Thomas, Greg Strobel, Robin Reed, Jess Lewis, Les Gutches, Howard Harris - the doors to the practice room are to the right.

Inside the practice room, small bleachers for fans.

2012-13 Schedule and Corrections

OS Wrestling Fans,

The schedule for the up-coming season has been posted on the OS site:
http://www.osubeavers.com/sports/m-wrestl/sched/orst-m-wrestl-sched.html

A couple of mentions about the latest update from the coaching staff that they wanted corrected. In the section about returning wrestlers, Alex Elder was omitted. Alex wrestled his freshman year, then red-shirted last year. In the names listed, it is Zach Cardwell who is returning, not his brother Caleb. Zach was a freshman last year. He was injured at the Southern Oregon Open and spent the rest of the year rehabbing. Both Alex and Zach will be looking to find a spot on the varsity team this year! Going to be some good battles out on the mat!

For those with slow internet connections, I put the schedule down below my sign-off.

Go Beavs!
