Open Practice & Tailgater This Saturday - Oct 15!!

The official opening of wrestling season was Monday, October 10, so it is underway! With that, we have the first  official Open Practice this coming Saturday, October 15, at 9:30am.

After an hour and a half of practice, around 11:00, all are invited to the Parent/Fan Tailgate Party just outside the entrance to the Wrestling section of the Sports Performance Facility. The SPF is located immediately west of Gill Coliseum.

For those who wish to participate in the Tailgater, there will be something on the grill - meat and potatoes, yum! - that will be prepared for you. Otherwise, if your last name begins with:
A-M - bring salads/fruit/veggies
N-Z - bring desserts/other side dish.
Also, please bring your own beverages and everything else will be provided.
Hope you can come, it is always a lot of fun! If you are attending the football game, you will have time, kick-off is at 1:00.

One note, the weather report for Saturday calls for lots of rain and wind, so it could be a bit stormy. There is some cover for non-diehard tailgaters, as there are both upstairs and downstairs lobbies to the Wrestling Room, as well as a roof covering the area just outside the door.

If you have not been following the news at osubeavers.com a couple of new articles have gone up recently. One is about the Pac-12 television schedule with the Beavs having four of their home meets on the TV schedule. The second article informs you about which six Beavers made it into the preseason rankings!   (Hint - they are: Bresser, Crawford, Delgado, Dhesi, Griego and Palmer!) Way to go, guys!!

Looking ahead in the schedule, the team will be introduced and honored at the Homecoming football game halftime for their 5th straight Pac-12 victory in the 2015-16 season. That is set for October 29. Time is still TBA.

The Intrasquad meet will be Nov 3 at 7:00 pm in Gill Coliseum. Next up the entire team travels up to Forest Grove for the Mike Clock Open  all day at Pacific University. The opening of the regular dual meet season will be back east in North Carolina, November 12. See the schedule for details. The annual Joe Wells Classic with Michigan is the home opener on November 20, mark that date on your calendar!

Finally, a look back at last weekend. Thanks to FALL Board member and Parent Rep, Andrea Tobin (Izaak's Mom) who shared a few photos from the practice session last Saturday. Her photos are below.

Hope many of you can make it to the tailgater this weekend!
