Our first Open Mat session, which you are all encouraged to attend, will take place before the start of the home football game against Stanford on Saturday, Sept. 28. We will begin at 1 p.m. that afternoon up in the OSU Wrestling Facility located just north of Reser Stadium and will run up to the start of the game at 4 p.m.
If you would like to attend the football game against Stanford you can contact the Oregon State Athletics Ticket Office, or purchase online at BeaverTickets.com.
Mark your calendars for the evening of Saturday, Oct. 5 as we host our Second Annual Fall Kickoff Fundraiser Dinner at the Benton County Fairgrounds. Everyone is invited to gather for an evening that includes dinner, multiple auctions, a season recap and look into the upcoming year ahead from the OSU coaching staff. 
Doors will open at 4:30 p.m. followed with a reception, silent auction, dinner, and main auction in an evening filled with opportunities to socialize with current student-athletes, alumni and fans. Dinner tickets can be purchased in advance of the event for $30 per person. Sponsorship tables are available for families or businesses to purchase a 6-8 person table for $500.

We will hold an open practice in the wrestling facility for all to see followed with food and socializing outside of the facility leading up to kickoff.

This upcoming March the NCAA Tournament will take place in the largest venue the event has ever seen; U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Summer Bulletin Board



Sent in by John Dustin:

Martin Chavez Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to OSU Athletics Kenneth W. Noteboom '59 during the Golden Jubilee

A four-year OSU wrestling Letterman and president of his senior class, Ken Noteboom created and co-chaired a Blue Ribbon Committee designed to ensure the perpetuity of the storied 110-year-old OSU wrestling program. This endowment is like no other among Oregon State's 17 intercollegiate sport programs. Ken also organized class reunions for 45 years, and co-chaired the Class of 1959 Golden Jubilee Committee that raised funds for the CH2M HILL Alumni Center labyrinth highlighting key OSU events, plus an endowed scholarship: the first class to make two 50th reunion gifts. A retired banker, Marine, and former president of the Albany and Junction City Chambers of Commerce and the Albany Boys and Girls Club, Ken and his wife, Ruth, lived near Junction City. We've all been enriched to have known him.

Summer Bulletin Board - August 12, 2019

From Craig Scharer:

a couple wrestling questions towards the bottom.


 ****************************

From John Dustin: text from the above interview -

Q: Given the lack of wrestling programs in the West, what is the future of OSU wrestling?
Barnes: The challenge has been our conference and losing that automatic qualifier and mitigating those issues. We’ve added Arkansas-Little Rock to get back to six (teams). That was our biggest challenge. The automatic qualifier in wrestling is a huge piece. We continue to invest in wrestling. Any sport that we sponsor we want to be excellent at, and watch its development.

Q: Is getting increasingly difficult to continue a wrestling program?
Barnes: I don’t think you’re seeing a tremendous drop off from the folks who sponsor wrestling. For a while, there was a decline. There haven’t been a ton of programs that have dropped lately. It can still be a vibrant program in the West. Obviously, the Pac-12 has had its challenges to be candid. We’ve remedied to that a degree, but we’ve got to do more. We have to align ourselves with quality institutions to really beef up not only our competition, but our program itself.

Q: Oregon State president Dr. Edward Ray is retiring next June. As an athletic director, do you get nervous when you don’t know who’s next as school president?
Barnes: No, we have a great plan, we’re executing our plan and I love the direction we’re headed. We’ll miss Ed and we’ll look forward to breaking in the new president whoever that may be, and partnering to continue to progress in whatever we’re doing.

Summer Bulletin Board - August 4, 2019


Conclusion to the Yacht Race: 


Joe Drucker, July 22, 2019 -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYaglq7sqm4

Garrett's got 2 more days of sailing. Half the fleet is in, Mary's there now having fun "shopping" with a hotel full of families waiting for their respective boats.  If Garrett  shows up during the day they'll get some cool photos passing the finish line - the light house at Diamond Head, 1st the Molokai Channel can be a fun challenge for sailors also, but breathtaking views seeing land for the 1st time in 13 days .. Kinda like a scene from Jurassic Park!  Yikes, wrong island..


**************************************
Joe Drucker, July 24, 2019 -

.....  Garrett's been doing the several local weekly summer racing series for a few years so as this event came closer he knew a few boats going and one asked him if he would participate and he couldn't refuse. Have not heard the whole story yet but there was some bad weather/waves and one of the crew was knocked off the boat when a line snapped, nobody was hurt and they wear life lines and practice overboard drills so it was not a problem. Just scary for us not knowing.

I think they finished an hour or so ago so it was light outside and they will have some cool photos, usually a helicopter goes our to get shots and they all should be wearing their crew shirts to look pretty.

We'll update later..

Joe

Joe Drucker,  later July 24, 2019

Whooopppeee, they made it.  Starting to hear about some rough weather & waves but they made it with the distinction of 2nd in class and last in fleet. Torn sails, man overboard any all happy and safe now.. Boat passing the finish line Diamond Head and the guys almost on land for the first time in 14days, makes you kinda woozy being back on land.. Now its shower & sleep for 20 hrs wake up and the final awards dinner Friday and FLY home.. Gar on the far right below.. A helicopter flies out to the finish to get some pretty photos so those should be here soon.

Not sure how they got this video up so soon after the race. The 1st part is Mary & I on our friends' boat (Good News) with the farewell banner at the start of the race. The guys had a great time. I think one
prerequisite for the crew was to play a musical instrument..
