The meet will be televised live on Fox Sports Oklahoma or Fox College Sports Pacific. You can also follow live stats on TrackWrestling.
Congratulations, Jack Hathaway, Oregon State's 141 lb'er, for receiving the Pac-12 Wrestler of the Week Award yesterday! Read more at Oregon State's website. The Pac-12 site also has a video with the announcement.
Now for upcoming events: the Pac-12's will be held at Stanford on Sunday, Feb 26. That is only about a week and half away! We hope to have our usual big, supportive crowd on hand to cheer the Beavs on to victory!
If you would like a free ride down and back, there will be a bus leaving Corvallis at 5 am on Feb 25, returning Feb 27. The ride is free, may I suggest a good tip to the driver? If you live further down I-5, let them know. The bus can stop in Springfield, Roseburg, Medford or Ashland to pick you up. The bus will take you to the tournament on Sunday as well. If you have not already signed up, please contact Ken Tobin: ken.tobin
For ALL who are GOING (riding the bus, driving, flying, walking) to the PAC-12's! Tickets can be obtained at a group rate. Go to: www.GoStanford.com/promo-code and enter the code: OSUALUMNI and you will be able to purchase your all-session pass for $10. The regular price is $25. This is for all Oregon State fans, you don't need to be a member of "The FALL" Fan Club. A very big "thank you!" to Suzanne Flores Phillips of the OSU Alumni Association for arranging this for us!! Tickets can be printed at home or picked up in Will Call at Stanford.
Wrestler's parents have picked up the ball for the bus, arrangements for a hotel in the Stanford area and a Social following the tournament. If anyone has some time to help make some calls to get these arrangements made, contact either me or Ken Tobin: ken.tobin
Thank you very much!!
Following the Pac-12's will be the NCAA's March 16-18 in St Louis. Contact Coach Kevin Roberts for tickets, if he has any left. If you are needing to reserve a hotel room, "The FALL" did arrange for some blocks of rooms in St Louis. The Hotel flier gives you all the information you will need. Note, the deadline on the one hotel has already passed, the other hotel deadline is Feb 28, the end of the month, so make your plans soon!
Last event for the season - the Wrestling Awards Banquet, hosted by "The FALL" Fan Club. Please save the Date - April 8, a Saturday, Social hour planned to be at 5pm, dinner at 6:00 followed by the awards program and speeches by the seniors. We are not sure yet where it will be held, due to costs of the new caterer. We may have to hold it elsewhere in Corvallis. More on that later.
The last bit of news for today was sent to me by Ron Iwasaki, FALL Club member. Ron pointed out an article in the recent issue of AWN on one of OSU's alumni, Greg Strobel. You can read it here. The article begins on page 24. Thanks, Ron!
One more dual! Go Beavs!
