ASU Meet Results - Nov 24, 2014

125 - Ronnie Bresser III

 The Beavers won meet 1001 tonight, but it turned out to be too close for comfort!

The Beavers were ahead 15-3 when suddenly the tide and fortunes started to change. The weights went in order from 125 to 285. By the time the heavyweights took the mat, Oregon State led by 15-12, with 5 wins to Arizona State's 4. Unfortunately, ASU took a close match, 3-2, leading to a 15-15 tie.

 As the crowd held their collective breath, the announcer went through the list of criteria for tie breakers. Both teams won 5 matches. No one had any bonus points. Finally, it came to match point totals: 51-43, giving Oregon State the point for a 16-15 win!!

Oregon State match winners were: 125 - Ronnie Bresser III, 133 - Jack Hathaway, 141 - Devin Reynolds, 157 - Alex Elder and 165 - Seth Thomas. Congratulations, guys! Every point counted! In this case, every point that all wrestlers accumulated added up, so it was a good reminder to never stop trying to score, never give up.

Coach Roberts and Honorary Captain DeFazio

Our Honorary Captain for the meet was Oregon Congressman Peter DeFazio! Peter has a connection to wrestling - in his own words:

 "My dad was my high school wrestling coach and he taught me that you never give up, no matter what the score...."

Those are good words for us all to live by! Thanks for coming Peter!

Beavers Make History - 1000 Wins!

Fans get their signs ready for final whistle

  It was a festive night for Oregon State Wrestling fans, cheering on a young Beaver team that took on the competition head-on! A crowd of 1,413 was entertained not only by the Pep Band and the Oregon State Cheer team but by lots of wrestling action on the mat with Oregon State taking victory #1000 by a score of 43-6 over Southern Oregon!

The first three matches didn't even make it out of the second period. Wrestling started with the 125 match.

125 - Ronnie Bresser III  quickly finished his match early in the second period with a tech fall, 19-3

133 - Jack Hathaway won by fall in the first period.

141- Devin Reynolds took even less time to get his fall

149 - Abraham Rodriguez went the distance, with riding time giving him the point that turned his win into a tech fall, 20-5

157 - Joey Delgado fought a hard battle, winning 7-5 including a point for riding time

165 - Seth Thomas steadily built his lead through the match, also had riding time, winning 9-5

174 - Joe Latham started with a scoreless first period, built a 4-2 lead in the second period, added another point by escape in the third, but got caught and pinned in the third period, oh so close!

184 - Taylor Meeks started slowly and picked up speed and points as the match rolled on, grinding down his opponent to where he finished with a tech fall on stalling points in the third period, 17-1

197 - Cody Crawford had a lead of at least 3-0 (might have been more?), but Taylor Johnson was unable to continue, appeared to be ill. Cody won by injury default.

285 - Nathan Keeve wore down his opponent, winning a major decison 10-1

One last recognition that needs to be made - thanks to all of those loyal fans who have been faithfully coming to wrestling meets over the years.

Open Practice & Parent/Fan Tailgater

Barbecue firing up before Practice!

For Homecoming, Oregon State's wrestling fans had the opportunity to take in the final Open Practice before the upcoming Intrasquad. Practice took place Saturday, Nov. 1, from 3:30-5:00 pm, followed by the annual Parent/Fan tailgater outside the Wrestling entrance to the practice facility. 

The bleachers in the corner and some cushy chairs that were moved in for the event were filled with eager fans. It was apparent from the activity in the room that the intensity level has been dialed up. There are some good battles brewing for positions that will come to the fore at the Intrasquad on the 6th! You won't want to miss them!

After the finish of practice, it was good to see 

Lining up for laps

some wrestlers continuing to put in a little more time, asking the coaches for advice, etc. Then everyone headed downstairs for some barbecue and tailgating fun before heading for the game or home.

The food was great, some barbecued steaks, french fries that were totally addictive - yum! -

and tables of salads and desserts.

One last treat for those who hung around long enough, the Oregon State Marching Band was  marching around

campus, entertaining people along the way. The band made a stop right alongside the wrestling tailgater and serenaded the fans with several songs before moving on. They were great! Let's hope we get to hear more from them at some of our home meets again this year!!

Next up is the Intrasquad meet which will be held in Gill Coliseum on Thursday, November 6 at 7:00 pm.

If you haven't read all the previews for the weight classes, be sure to check out the articles at the osubeavers.com website. They are the five articles dated 10-27-14 through 10-31-14.

Parking for the Intrasquad will be easier than on football game days. You should be able to park for free in most of the lots around Gill. Be there to cheer on all the guys! Then come back a week later for the first home dual with Southern Oregon on November 13!

Go Beavs!
