Mangrum Wins at 141, Beavs Take 5th!

OS Wrestling Fans,
Mike Mangrum brings home the title from the Southern Scuffle! Congratulations, Michael!! Unfortunately, Clayton Jack came up a little short, losing his final match 2-0, still good enough for a second place finish. Since my last update, Chad Hanke also won his final match, taking a third place finish. The Beavers hung on to fifth place. Congratulations to the whole team and coaching staff!

The Beavers at Southern Scuffle

OS Wrestling Fans,

Break time is over, time to go back to wrestling!! The Beavers are traveling across country to Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the Southern Scuffle on Jan 1 & 2.

Before the details there, I wanted to make sure everyone knew about another story, connected to wrestling. Long-time OS wrestling fans may remember a name from class of '97, Andy Sapp. Andy made it into a story in the Oregon Stater, Winter 2012 Edition, page 54. While, by his own admission, never a star, some of us remember Andy for the side-splitting senior talk he gave at his final wrestling banquet. Andy has gone on to prove he has the tenacity of a winning wrestler by building a ranch not far from Boise for troubled boys.

Read the story of Cherry Gulch on page 54 of the Oregon Stater on-line at this link:
http://journalgraphicsdigital.com/pubs/osu/alumni/current/
Congratulations on a job well done, Dr. Sapp - and good luck going forward!! Check it out if you haven't seen it already, it is a great story.

Now back to the present team. The Beavers will be in McKenzie Arena at the University of Tennessee, in Chatanooga, TN. The Southern Scuffle is a 2 day tournament, with action beginning this Sunday, January 1, at 10:00 am EST (7am PST) and concluding on Monday, Jan. 2.

You can follow the action on Trackwrestling.com:
http://www.trackwrestling.com/tw/Login.jsp
There will probably be (already some) Beaver chatter on the Pure-Orange Forum:
http://www.pure-orange.net/bscwrestling/index.html

For more details, read Hank's article at the OS page:
http://www.osubeavers.com/sports/m-wrestl/spec-rel/122911aaa.html

For host Tennesee's perspective, read their story here:
http://www.gomocs.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=205352372&DB_OEM_ID=17700
Also note that their story says the finals will be live-streamed through a link on that page, so it may be possible to watch. Depends on your computer connections.

Happy New Year! Go Beavs!!

Again, congratulations to Michael Mangrum, Outstanding Wrestler & Champion, Clayton Jack - Champion, placers Sakaguchi, Pena and Meeks, and the whole team and coaches for the 5th place finish! The update follows below my sign-off.

A few more notes: OS has articles on the rankings and the upcoming meets here:

For you fans who are down south, these meets are in your area! Be there to make a friendly welcome for your Beavers! The Bakersfield meet, Saturday, Dec 10 begins at 5 pm. at the Icardo Center. I couldn't find anything other than a possible link on their schedule page to live stats for those who can't be there.

*******************************************Subject: OS Wrestling Update
To:

The Beavers returned from Las Vegas and went straight into Final Exams this week, while also preparing for a couple of Pac 12 dual meets on the road. We will face Cal State Bakersfield and Cal Poly this weekend after a quick turn-around from Las Vegas and getting our final exams and projects completed. Several key conference match-ups await on the individual front, along with some that have national implications as well. Last week, the Beavers had five placers and crowned two Champions at the prestigious Cliff Keen Invitational in Las Vegas, Nevada. Michael Mangrum and Clayton Jack were winners at 141 lbs. and Heavyweight, respectively, with Mangrum adding the Outstanding Wrestler Award.  Mangrum scored 46 points in his first three matches on day 1, before taking down returning NCAA finalist Boris Novachkov of Cal Poly in the semi-finals. He defeated Hunter Steiber of Ohio State in the finals, who had knocked off the defending NCAA Champ. Clayton Jack won in dramatic fashion with a fall in the final ten seconds, in a 4-4 match. Jack had a very impressive tournament up until then as well.  Oregon State also had placers in Scott Sakaguchi, R.J. Pena, and Taylor Meeks. The team finished in 5th place, which was a descent performance. We know we are capable of more though, and will keep working to get there. This week, Oregon State has seven wrestlers ranked in the top 20 of the National Polls, and the team overall is in the 12th-13th range by several of the national rankings .  Not looking back too far into history, but that seems like the first time we have had as many individuals in the rankings in a while.  We have a lot of room to get better still, especially with the younger guys on this team.  This team has 2 seniors and 5 freshman/sophomores.  So we feel that  we can still keep getting better as the season progresses. Jack moves to a consensus #4, while Mangrum is slotted in at #2.  Chad Hanke also won the Las Vegas Olympic Trials qualifier at Heavyweight over the weekend while representing the Northwest Regional Training Center.  Chad added another former NCAA Champion to his list in the victory column, defeating former NCAA HWT Champion David Zabriskie of Iowa State. Chad as you know has been on a great run since last spring and looks to build on that success throughout the year. If you are interested in NCAA tickets this year, make sure to consider going through our ticket office and sitting in the OSU section! Call 1-800- GoBeavs before they are sold out. We would love to have you in our section.  I know that they will not last, so act now if you don’t want to be on the outside looking in.  We had an awesome support group in Vegas, and it is something that we want to continue to grow.  The guys and staff recognize the support, appreciate it, and it does not go unnoticed. Season tickets and single-meet tickets are now available. Fans can purchase tickets by calling 1-800-GOBEAVS, visiting the ticket area on osubeavers.com or in person at the ticket office at Gill Coliseum. Season tickets for adults $46 and senior/youth are $34. Single-match tickets for adults are $7 and $5 for seniors/youth. For summer camp info, check out www.jimzaleskywrestlingcamps.com, or find us on facebook.  We will be updating the camp webpage for summer 2012 dates very shortly.

 

A Good Weekend For Beaver Wrestling In Vegas!!

OS Wrestling Fans,

One last wrap-up for the day. OS Wrestling had a pretty good day today. Not only did we have the two Champions at Cliff Keen, Mangrum & Jack, but Mike Mangrum won the Outstanding Wrestler award, as well. Congratulations, Mike!!

Team scores don't seem to be published anywhere, but Intermat's story says Ohio State won, Michigan was second, Wyoming Third. Coach Roberts told me that Nebraska was fourth, and the Beavers held on to 5th place.
