Open Practice - Sept 25 - Part 1

 The Beavers held their first Open Practice on Friday afternoon in the Dale Thomas Wrestling Room before the football game with Stanford.

Coaches make sure the guys have their paperwork in

A small contingent of fans and parents were on hand to take in the action. This practice was unofficial, so it wasn't as structured as usual. Someone was calling directions for the warm-up and cool down, I think it was Joey Palmer, if I heard correctly. In between those two periods, the guys paired off and wrestled.

It was fun to get back into the room and see the guys out there going through their paces.There were some epic battles going on between Kegan Calkins and Ronnie Bresser III. They were right in front of the bleachers, so they were hard to miss! Joey Palmer got in at least  one throw that drew oohs and ahs from the bleachers across the room, so you know it was good! Amar Dhesi was looking good, he was wrestling first with the new Volunteer Assistant Coach Devin Mellon, then with Austin Morehead who is back to help with the team. Everyone there was working hard. It's hard to focus on any one pair.

I took a few pictures so you can get a glimpse of what was going on.
