Day 1 results

 Dear Beaver Wrestling Supporters

For those not aware Denise and I were able to attend the NCAA's on short notice and had a long & fun day 1 at the Enterprise Center here in St Louis.

Excellent coverage by Oregon State with the by round updates and summary by Jana and not much to add to the summary.  If I may try to add some insights:

• I have not been to NCAA's since 1970.  I now recall how motivated you are Wrestling in the Championship Bracket.  Also how motivated you have to be in the Wrestle Backs for the opportunity to Wrestle for 3rd!

• We have 4 out of 6 still Wrestling for that opportunity!  

• Tough 1st Round for the Team and a strong 2nd Round.

• Hunter Willets loss was tough with a disputed 2pt call from winning against the #4 Seed

• Grant Willets, Deavon Turner, Ryan Reyes all wrestled well after their losses to advance in the Wrestle Backs..

The Team is being aggressive!!

Bob & Denise Tomasovic
