October Newsletter - From the Coaches's Office

 

October Newsletter BACK IN ACTION! We hope this email finds you all well! We have been chipping away during these uncertain times alongside the rest of the country. Finally on October 12th we began our full contact training in the Dale Thomas Wresting Facility. With the new testing protocols our team is tested each day we have live contact (4x a week) to ensure our athletes health and safety. We have since been weight training four times a week at 6:30am and wrestling four times a week at 3:30pm. The guys have a fire in them from this long layoff and have NEVER been this excited to get back to work. We are excited for the future! RECRUITING Currently, the NCAA DI Council has yet again extended the temporary COVID-19 recruiting dead period through January 1st, which prohibits all in-person recruiting activities. Our staff has continued to persevere through adversity and continue on our recruiting trail virtually. We continue to get high ranking commitments from great young men around the country that want to part of something special here in Corvallis.   GREG STROBEL:  (August 17, 1952 October 8, 2020) It is with a heavy heart we inform our Beaver Family of the passing of one of our own, Greg Strobel. Our condolences to the Strobel family, especially his daughters, Jennifer and Christine, who also lost their mom in January.      "The passing of Coach Strobel has given us all heavy hearts the past week, he touched everyone he interacted with in such a positive way. I read a great quote the other day that made me smile. Tears will heal, memories will comfort, and legacies will live on forever Coach Strobel has left a lasting legacy in the world that will inspire for generations."  Oregon State Wrestling Head Coach Chris Pendleton.   Addresses for Greg's daughters and their families: Jennifer & Rob Baldwin Children: Mason, Isabel, Evelyn & Hayden 1106 Grove Rd.
