Wrestling News - October 30, 2015

We're another week closer to the start of Wrestling Season! Here are a few notes to help get you ready for action to start.

First of all, looking back to last Saturday, I put up a post with a few photos from the Open Practice and the Tailgater on "The FALL"'s blog, check those links to see, or see the links on the right side of this page under Blog Archive.

Next, Oregon State has put out a series of articles this week on a review of the weight classes. Check here for links to all those articles and more. Get the scoop on who will likely be in the line-up.

Don't forget - next Wednesday evening, Nov. 4 at 7 pm, Gill Coliseum - will be the Intra-squad. We'll have the battles for the starting spots at each weight in the line-up.

Immediately following the matches there will be a short program for a Social  over in Reser. This time we will be on the second floor in the Loge, instead of the third floor Club.

Coach Zalesky would like to introduce the entire team to the fans, so come on over for a quick snack and meet the team. We don't want to keep the guys up on a school night, so it won't be a long event. Both the wrestling and the Social will be free to all.

Have you sent in your membership dues yet? We've had a pretty good response so far. Remember, if you get your application in before the deadline on Nov 6, your name will be entered in a drawing for a prize! You can find the membership form under "links" on the right side of this page.

Besides the Intra-squad, there is another free event this season - the home opener, Nov. 21. Considering there will be a total of 3 meets taking place, that's a lot of wrestling for free! So even if you might have to pay to park, it is still a great deal. Carpool and it's even better! Time is still To Be Determined.

A "Head's Up" for those planning to attend the Cliff Keen Tournament in Las Vegas, Dec. 4-5, 2015. In recent years the Cliff Keen has been held at the Las Vegas Convention Center. This year the tournament will be held at the Cashman Center in Las Vegas. It is a part of the Convention Center, but it is not located in the same area.

The Cashman Center is located at 850 N Las Vegas Blvd, about 4-5 miles north of the main Convention Center. For all the information about the Cliff Keen Tournament, check here. Hopefully many of you will be going. We usually have a good crowd of Beavers on hand, let's have another good cheering section!

Go Beavs!
