Strobel challenge + Gas Tank Gary article

 

Beaver Wrestling Supporters,

 

Just a few links to some interesting articles:

 

The second annual Greg Strobel ‘Make A Weight’ 30-day Challenge kicked off today. I love following the photos and videos that his daughter Jennifer posts on social:

Kerry Eggers wrote an article on Gas Tank Gary:

Traub began the season 1-4, falling to three returning All-Americans — Penn State’s Greg Kerkvliet (currently ranked No. 5 nationally), Central Michigan’s Matt Stencel (No. 8) and twice to Lehigh’s Jordan Wood (No. 7).

“That was pretty tough,” Traub said. “But going into the season, I knew that would get me to where I need to be (at the end of the season). I’ve tried to take lessons from losing those four matches. I know I’m going to see them down the line in the nationals.”

The greatest heavyweight in Oregon State history — Jess Lewis — watched from the stands Friday night. A former two-time NCAA champion who went 76-1 through his college career, Lewis won 50 of his matches via the pin. Traub has only one fall all season, but it’s not his style.

“Ideally, you pin (the opponent) and get off the mat,” Traub said. “I’m not the best pinner, though, so a lot of times what I’m trying to do is wear on the guy’s head and win on a major (decision).”

Pendleton said Traub has enjoyed “a fantastic season.”
