Much appreciation to all who have made it possible to bring our RTC athletes to Corvallis.  Coach Nate Engel and 5x World Champ and Beaver Dam RTC athlete Adeline Gray are on their way to Tokyo to represent team USA.  We are behind you!!

We can't mention Olympic Wrestling without thinking of Greg Strobel, who coached in the Olympics from 1992 - 2004.  His memorial service will be held at Lehigh on 8/21.  Thank you to Scott Spiegelberg and Craig Scharer for this info.

"Appreciate the coverage for Oregon State Wrestling and the new coaching staff"

comment by Texas Collegiate Wrestling

"Great Article! Meanwhile perhaps SaveOregonWrestling.org will be allowed to succeed at reinstating college wrestling for the Ducks.

comment by Hank Hosfield

"Good stuff. But no real mention of women's wrestling, which offers the best avenue for promoting the future health of the sport. I believe Pendletop understands this and is looking forward to expanding opportunities of both sexes. He already has four women training at the Dam Wrestling Club. When does OSU push to establish a collegiate program for women? There are already seven women's college wrestling programs in Oregon, so local competition isn't an issue. Kerry, did you guys discuss this at all?

P.S. comment by John Dustin

"As a lifelong supporter of OSU wrestling, I'm hoping that OSU will support the addition of a Women's program.

Oregon Wrestling also needs John Canzano to comment.

Remember to Click "Like" when visiting RCWOR's website and remember that EOU received a startup fund of $300,000 from State Rep. Greg Smith from the Oregon Legislature to make it happen, and the Mountaineer athletic department began recruiting wrestling student-athletes in the fall of 2016.
