Wrestling Open Practice This Saturday!!

Oregon State Wrestling Fans,

Your first peek at the 2017-18 Oregon State Wrestling team is almost here! This Saturday, September 30, at 2:00 pm, the Dale Thomas Wrestling Room will be open to the public to watch the team run through a practice. There are bleachers in the back corner of the room where fans are welcome to sit. If they are full, you may stand/sit around the edges of the mats. Wherever you are, do be aware of the occasional flying bodies. This is wrestling practice after all.

Practice usually lasts an hour and a half, leaving you plenty of time to head across the street to Reser Stadium for the 5:00 football game where the Beavers will be taking on the UW Huskies, or do some tailgating. This wrestling practice is an "unofficial" practice as the season is still about 2 weeks away from its start date, Oct 10. That means the coaches will be there to observe, but they won't be running the practice. One or more  of the upperclassmen usually take that on.

Meanwhile, if you want to familiarize yourself with the new names, check out the team roster. The names are there. Some have the full bios, some do not. I do not believe that any of the new guys have their pictures up there yet.

If you are interested in helping OSU wrestling this year, there are several ways to help. The Wrestling Endowment Fund (WEF) has a letter out with a status update and request for funds. You can find that letter under the "Links" on the right side of this page. Another way to help out is with the Pledge For Pins drive that comes from the Coaching Office. That brochure also can be found under "Links" on the right hand of this page. Still another way to help out is to attend the wrestling meets, here and away! Bodies in the stands are a great way to support the team!

Last but not least, on behalf of the FALL Board and the entire FALL Fan Club I would like to extend our Best Wishes for long and happy married lives to those former Beavers who took the plunge in the past year: Michael Mangrum, Jake Gonzales, Abraham Rodriequez, and Ben Harris! Congratulations to all! Now that you are "off the bench", we also look forward to having you join us in the stands as fans of Oregon State Wrestling - and becoming members of "The FALL".

Go Beavs!
