Last Two Home Meets Next Week - Monday and Friday!

Oregon State Wrestling Fans,

Believe it or not, we are down to the last two home meets of the season. And - there is only one more dual for the Beavers after that. A road trip to Cal Baptist in California on Feb 22 finishes the dual meet season for the Oregon State Wrestling team. After that only the Championship tournaments remain - the Pac-12's and the NCAA's.

So mark you calendars! Next Monday, Feb 11, at 7:00 pm the Beavers host the Iowa State Cyclones. The Beavers final home stand for 2018-19 will be Friday, Feb 15 at 6 pm versus The Stanford Cardinal.

Monday night's dual will be a good challenge for the Beavers, as the Cyclones, ranked #14 according to their article, seem to be having a good season. Note for FALL Club members - since this is a Monday night, there will be no Social after the meet.

Then on Friday, Feb. 15, the Stanford Cardinal team is also having a good season and presents its own challenge to the Beavers. Note: start time for this meet is 6:00 pm, not the standard 7:00 pm.

After the dual with Stanford, The FALL will host its final Social of the season. This will be Senior night, so come on over and say thank you and good luck to the Seniors on the team: Ronnie Bresser, Kegan Calkins, Joe DeMatteo, Amar Dhesi ( a graduate student), Zach Evans, Josh Reyes, Christian Robertson and Rodney Williams. Perhaps we can persuade them each to say a few words to the crowd. Reminder, Seniors are announced along with their families to the crowd before the meet begins, so get to your seat a few minutes early to give then their recognition, don't forget, that start time is 6:00!

For more information:

OSU article: the Archives, you will find a link to their newest article once it gets posted.

ISU article:  you will find info on their recent victories.

Stanford article: a recap of their recent victory over ASU

Television - both of these meets will be televised live on Pac-12 television.

Looking ahead to next month and the Pac-12's in Tempe, we still have hotel rooms in the block available for Beaver fans. Remember, Tempe is going to be very busy, with most rooms taken up, so if you want to go, snag one of these. The rate of  2 queen beds for $119/night + 14.07% tax is a good rate for this area any time of the year. There are other room options available as well. If you 'd like one of these rooms, contact Jana Iwasaki ( jana.iwasaki@gmail.com) or myself for the details. Rooms must be reserved by the end of February. We turn the block back to the hotel on March 1. The Pac-12's take place at ASU in Tempe, on Saturday, March 9. Hope you can make it to cheer on the Beavs!

Finally, if you have not read the latest update from the Coaches Office, I have pasted it down below my signature for your convenience.

Go Beavs!

Hello Beaver Nation,

It has been a very busy few weeks and want to send out a quick update on how the team is doing. The team has been working hard and will be coming off a good training week heading into the Iowa State and Stanford duals. We can tell in the practice room that the team is very focused and excited with the postseason approaching. Our practices this time of year are shorter and more intense.

We are going into the home stretch of the season with our final two home dual meets coming up next week. We will be taking on the Iowa State Cyclones Monday night followed by Stanford Friday night, which will be senior night. Come out and make some noise for our final two home dual meets of the season!

We have a few guys that are really finding their groove and competing well towards the end of the season. Ronnie Bresser, currently ranked #3, continues to have a dominating season with his only loss coming to the #1 wrestler in the country in overtime! Amar Dhesi, currently ranked #4, has rattled off five straight wins with a dominate win over #20 AJ Nevills of Fresno State last week. Colt Doyle has won five of his last six and has scored bonus points in four of those wins.

The PAC12 Championships will be held at Wells Fargo Arena in Tempe, Arizona on March 9. If you are planning on making the trip down to catch some sunshine and good wrestling we want to thank you for your support!

Thanks, and GO Beavs!
