The
moment you've all been anxiously awaiting since the final match at the
NCAA's last winter is almost here! To get your first peek at the
2018-19 Oregon State Wrestling team, be in the Dale Thomas Wrestling
Room this Saturday, October 6 at 3:00!
This Saturday's practice
will be run by the student athletes since it will be an unofficial
practice. The official start of wrestling season, by NCAA dictates, is
October 10, next week.
The start of an Open Practice is calculated on the time of the OSU football game kickoff. Practice begins three hours before kickoff,
and lasts approximately one and a half hours. Those going to the game
have plenty of time to watch the practice and then get to their seat in
Reser Stadium, literally across the street from the Sports Performance
Center.
It's always fun to pick out the new faces
at practice. Hopefully the coaches will have the guys write their names
on the back of their t-shirts so we can learn who they are! Hint,
hint....
Coming up next week, another important event in wrestling - the benefit dinner and auction on Sat. Oct 13.
You can read all about the details in the latest message from the
Coaches' Corner which you can find pasted below my signature at the
bottom of this email. Don't miss out on the fun!
In fact, there is something coming up each week for the next five weeks. On Saturday October 20, the first Official Open Practice will be immediately followed by the Parent/Fan Tailgater. We'll have to wait for the football kick-off time to be arranged before we'll know what time that will be.
On October 24, Wednesday evening at 7:00, the Black & Orange Intrasquad meet will be held in Gill Coliseum.
The final event of the five week span will be another Open Practice on the first Saturday of November - Nov. 3.
After that, we are on into the season of meets and tournaments. First of those is the Mike Clock Open in Forest Grove at Pacific University on Nov 11,
a Sunday. The finalized schedule should be out within a week or two,
once the basketball schedules and Pac-12 television have settled their
dates and times.
If you have any news of any of the former wrestlers that you would like to have passed along, send it to me and I will be sure to include it in my email. Thank you!
Don't forget - the letter from the Coaches down below!
Go Beavs!
