Beaver Wrestling Supporters,
The meet on Sunday was close, but the Sun Devils took the win. Hunter
Willits lost to #3 Jacori Teemer in OT despite Teemer stalling the entire bout.
Grant Willits and Gas Tank Gary had major decisions. It was disappointing that ASU’s
heavyweight Cohlton Schultz was competing
in Greco at the Grand Prix of Zagreb in Croatia and did not wrestle Traub. Trey
Munoz had another tech fall.

I share with sadness that Eleanor Piha, a longtime Oregon State
Wrestling supporter has died. Eleanor happened to be a high school classmate of
my great uncle in Hillsboro and she was married to Lou Piha, a 1948 conference
wrestling champion for the Beavers at 125.5 lbs. I remember the Pihas being at
every meet and banquet, and they supported numerous other programs at OSU as
well. They are greatly missed.

Eleanor
Hanley Piha, 101, of Lebanon, died January 22, 2022,

Eleanor was born
March 6, 1920, in Hillsboro, Oregon, in Washington County to parents, Albert
and Anna Hanley. She had two sisters, Florence Britton (now deceased), and
Aileen DeVos, of Springfield.
Eleanor attended
a one room school near Hillsboro and graduated from Hillsboro High School in
1938. She spent one year at Pacific University and received a Bachelor of
Science degree from Oregon College of Education (now Western Oregon University)
in Monmouth. Eleanor spent 13 years as an elementary education teacher at Lyda
School, in Washington County, Liberty School, in Tillamook, Central School, in
Forest Grove, and Harding School, in Corvallis. She later did some substitute
teaching.
Eleanor was
married to Louise Piha on June 19, 1955 and had
one son, Lynn Allen Piha ,in 1957 who lives in
Lebanon. Eleanor is a former member of the Tualatin Plains Presbyterian Church,
near Hillsboro. She is also a past board member of the Lebanon Hospital
Auxiliary, past board member of the Lebanon-Sweet Home concert association,
member of Chapter V. - P.E.O. Sisterhood, WOU Alumni Association, N.A.R.F.E,
and the OSU Beaver Club. She enjoyed music, theater, reading, traveling,
gardening, flowers and OSU college sports.
After Lou
retired in 1985, they enjoyed traveling in many parts of the USA and also the
South Pacific Islands. They were OSU Beaver season ticket holders for 37 years
in football, men's and women's basketball, gymnastics, and wrestling. They
enjoyed their family and great friends. Lou passed away in 2018.
Eleanor is
survived by her son, Lynn Piha, and Billie Ortega,
sister, Aileen and Herb DeVos, nephews, Bob Britton and Brad DeVos, and nieces
