A Fun Look Back At the Weekend and a Quick Look Ahead

Oregon State Wrestling Fans,

Got a couple of fun things for you to look back at wrestling events last weekend.

First, heard from FALL Club member and Wrestling Dad (Aaron/Mateo), Mario Olmos. He was able to attend the California Collegiate in San Francisco last Saturday. He shared this recap of the Beavers' actions there:

There was some exciting action this weekend at the California Collegiate Open at San Francisco State. Oregon State was well represented. Conner Noonan took 3rd place at 149 lbs and also came away with the most pins trophy. Drake McKee scored an amazing 12 points in the last period to win 14-13 against his opponent from Simon Frazier Univ. to take 3rd at 165 lbs. Rounding out the day, Mateo Olmos took first place at 165 lbs. beating Josh Annis of Cal State Bakersfield 11-9 in the finals.

Thanks, Mario, it adds a lot of detail to simply reading the box scores! (I took the liberty of adding the bold to his comments just to make the names stand out.)

He also shared a link to some pictures that they took of the guys. You'll find pictures of Mateo and Connor, Drake, Adam and Christian as well as the dads - Mario and Mike. Thanks again to Mario and Lisa!

 Looking back to Sunday's meet with Northern Colorado, the Pac-12 site has a couple of videos up - a recap of the meet and an interview of Amar Dhesi. The recap has a couple of replays of Ronnie Bresser's amazing "flying squirrel". Don't blink, you'll miss it like I did at the meet :)

Looking ahead, don't forget, we have the last two home meets coming up in a few days. Cal Poly will be here on Saturday at 7:30 and Troy Steiner will be bringing his Fresno Bulldogs to Gill on Monday at 7:00 pm. Hope you can be there for both. Monday will also be Senior night for the seniors on the team.

Looking a little farther ahead, I've been told that Greg Strobel and his wife will be attending the Pac-12's, Feb. 25. So if you know Greg, this would be a good chance to say hello to this National Champ Beaver!

And last but not least, if you are planning on attending the NCAA's in Cleveland and wish to stay in a hotel where other Beaver fans will be - the FALL has arranged a block of rooms in a couple of hotels there. See the attached file for all the information and how to reserve your room. Deadline for reservations is March 1.

Go Beavs!
