RENO TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS RECAP

Oregon State Wrestling enjoyed a solid day of competition at the 2019 Reno Tournament of Champions (TOC) as the Beavers earned four top-five finishes, including one from unattached grappler Hunter Willits. A total of five Beavers collected placements to help lead the team to a fourth-place finish at the Reno Events Center.--

Colt Doyle earned the highest placement for the Beavers as he finished in second place at 184 pounds. The redshirt junior used a pin and three major decisions to make his way into the first-place bout where he dropped a close 3-1 decision to end his day.

Devan Turner (133 lbs.) and Grant Willits (141 lbs.) each earned fourth place in their respective weight class. Turner made it to the semifinals thanks to an early pin (2:36) and a 3-2 decision to stay alive in the championship bracket. The redshirt sophomore collected three takedowns on a 12-2 major decision in the quarterfinal round but would suffer his first defeat of the day in the semis to move into the third-place bout, ending his day in fourth place.

Lane Stigall remained consistent at 149 pounds as he earned his second straight tournament placement for the Beavers, finishing in sixth place with a record of 5-2 on the day.

Competing unattached, redshirt junior Hunter Willits earned second in his bracket at 157 pounds as he fell in the finals bracket. Willits cruised to the championship finals using a pair of technical falls and a quarterfinal pin.

THE 100 CLUB

One of our new initiatives this year which serves as a replacement to our Pledge for Pins drive in the past is The 100 Club: It is designed to help the growth of the Beaver Regional Training Center (RTC). The money gifted goes directly to the Beaver RTC which is a Nonprofit Organization that supports the travel and training expenses associated with the RTC.

Our goal is to raise $100,000 this season. For example, that is 1,000 individuals donating $100 each. If you would like to join the 100 Club please print out this FORM and mail it to our PO Box. The address to which is on the form.
