Corvallis, Oregon- The Beavers returned to Corvallis last night with the trophy from the inaugural Pac 12 Wrestling Championships (and 19th conference championship in OSU history). There were many highs and a few lows like most wrestling tournaments. Overall, THE BEAVS did a good job competing hard and wrestling aggressively. It is time to prepare for the tournament that matters the most and the one that we judge our season on.
Before anything else is said in regards to the tournament, the FANS and SUPPORTERS of OSU WRESTLING need to be recognized. Orange and Black clad wearing folks of all ages and many locations made the trek to Boise and brought a ton of emotion and support to our wrestlers and staff. They cannot be recognized enough and their support was phenomenal. I think we had the largest contingent of fans in attendance, and without a doubt the most vocal. The support of the fans, parents, boosters, fan club has been great and is a big part of building this program to the highest level. As you have heard before, the staff expects to get to the highest level in college wrestling. A conference championship is nice, but it is a stepping stone to what really matters. We had hundreds of fans in Boise on the same weekend as the Oregon High School State Championships. We are going to continue to build this fan base to become one of the largest and best in the nation. Thanks for the support!
Oregon State advanced six wrestlers to the finals, and came away with four individual champions. Michael Mangrum won a hard-fought overtime match with returning NCAA finalist Boris Novatchkov, with a takedown and near-fall for a 5-1 victory. Mangrum improved his record to 33-3 on the season, and heads to St. Louis with expectations of an NCAA title. Scott Sakaguchi dismantled the field at 149 lbs., with a major decision in the finals. He improved his record to 33-5 going into the NCAA Championships. RJ Pena won the title at 157 lbs. and also picked up his 20th fall of the season, to lead Division 1 wrestling. He defeated George Ivanov of BSU in the finals by a score of 5-2. At Heavyweight, Clayton Jack continued his march toward the NCAA Championships, with his second conference championship and improved his record to 35-1, with 15 falls heading to St. Louis. Every wrestler contributed to the scoring and the team championship. One thing we always stress is aggressive wrestling, scoring points and looking for bonus points. As you can see by the team scores, every point matters. In 18 matches won by OSU wrestlers, we scored 14 bonus points, which made a difference in the team outcome. The way to beat the best guys and become a dominant program is to wrestle aggressive and hard, and getting bonus points pays off. Our athletes are getting that concept. Besides, it is a lot more entertaining for the fans and a lot more fun than watching wrestlers try to rack up points. The complete OSU results are as follows:
125: Pat Rollins, FR, 2nd place
133: Garrett Drucker, SR, 3rd place
141: Michael Mangrum, JR, Champion
149: Scott Sakaguchi, SO, Champion
157: RJ Pena, SO, Champion
165: Cody Weishoff, JR, 5th place
174: John Tuck, SO, 5th place
184: Ty Vinson, JR, 3rd place, winner of true second match
197: Taylor Meeks, FR, 2nd place
HWT: Clayton Jack, SR, Champion
Wrestling To Be Honored At Thursday's Men's Basketball Game
CORVALLIS, Ore. - The Pac-12 Champion Oregon State wrestling team will be honored during the second half of the Oregon State men's basketball game Thursday when the Beavers take on Utah.
The team will be honored during the second media timeout of the half, appearing on the Gill Coliseum court. The game is slated for a 7 p.m. PT start.
The Beavers won their third league title under head coach Jim Zalesky, and 19th in the program's history. Four Beavers - Mike Mangrum (141), Scott Sakaguchi (149), RJ Pena (157) and Clayton Jack (HWT) - won individual titles, the most for Oregon State in a single year since 1995.
Overall, the team is guaranteed of having seven wrestlers compete at the NCAA Championships in St. Louis, March 15-17. Additional entries may be named as at large berths next week when the NCAA announces its bracket.
If you would like to join us- we will see you there. It should be a good environment to recognize our guys.

National Duals - Close, So Close!
OS Wrestling Fans,
The victory was not quite there for the Beavs in the second dual of the day, losing to Iowa 14-22.
Match winners: 149 - Sakaguchi by decision, 157 - Pena by major, 197 - Meeks by major, and Hwt - Jack by decision, Congratulations!
There were a couple of close ones that would have made the story a little different. Mangrum lost in OT, and Vinson gave up a lead to lose a close match in the final seconds.
My apologies to anyone looking for video, I just found out when going back to email from several fans that there was live video from another source, a little too late! Sorry, maybe everyone else found it.
http://www.livesportsvideo.com/golive/goliveevents.asp?q=NWCA
Remember that one for next time around!
Since only today's winners go on to the next round of the National Duals, I believe that brings OS's regular season to an end. Next up will be the Pac-12's in Boise, Feb 26.
Be sure to check the OS site for Hank's wrap-up: http://www.osubeavers.com/sports/m-wrestl/recaps/021212aaa.html
Go Beavs!

Beavers Take Down the Cardinal
OS Wrestling Fans,
RJ started off the afternoon with a win for the Beavers, but then the Beavs dug a hole that got deeper and deeper until Taylor Meeks finally put a stop to the digging and turned it around.
The Beavers had majors from Meeks, Roberts, Mangrum and Sakaguchi. Pena and Jack won by decision. That made the final score OSU 22 Stanford 14. Congratulations to all the winners!
There will be a write up at the OS site:
http://www.osubeavers.com/sports/m-wrestl/spec-rel/orst-m-wrestl-spec-rel.html
Check there for all the details.
Since Oklahoma cancelled our dual for next Friday, the next possible action for the Beavs will be an open tournament, the California Collegiate Open at San Francisco State in San Francisco. Not sure who will be heading down to participate. The varsity is off until Feb 12 when they travel to Ames, Iowa, for the first of the National Duals.
Go Beavs!!

Wrestling This Weekend!
OS Wrestling Fans,
While the Beavers closed out the home meet season last weekend, they are far from finished.
This weekend will have a full slate of action, with the varsity team traveling to Boise on Friday and Stanford on Sunday, and another Open Tournament on Saturday for the others on the squad. Read all the details on the weekend's duals at the OS site:
http://www.osubeavers.com/sports/m-wrestl/spec-rel/012512aaa.html
Note that according to that article, there will be live video for both duals, but no live stats.
Saturday's Open Tournament will be the Boxer Open at Pacific University, Forest Grove, Oregon. Parents of Squad members, be sure to check with your wrestler to see if he is competing, as they are not required to be there. Not sure how we will find out the results. Track Wrestling does not seem to have this tournament on their list.
A few other items of interest:
If you are interested in tickets for the Pac-12's, here is information from Boise that was given to Craig Scharer today:
We have Pac-12's on sale right now. You can purchase an all session ticket for $30 for an adult or $20 for either of the individual sessions. You can buy them online, in person at the Athletic Ticket Office or over the phone at 426-4737. They are all general admission. Here is the direct link to the event:
http://idahotickets.com/subevents.php?subeventuid=49612fda85c98fb887fca69a96011506
They also stated that all tickets are General Admission.
Seems that the Beavers are making some noise in the national stats. Craig also sent this link to me
-http://www.win-magazine.com/2012/01/edinboros-chris-honeycutt-among-leaders-in-many-categories/
Frank Johnson sent a file which I have attached for you. This article is about NCAA Div I pins. RJ Pena is leading the country with 18 for the season, Clayton Jack is tied for 2nd with 13, and Mike Mangrum is following along with 10. Congratulations, guys, keep up the good work!!
Don't forget, if you want to go to the Pac-12's, we are chartering a bus. This is not your high school rooter bus, it is a touring bus complete with on-board rest room. It's not Grey Hound. We will not be stopping at every small town along the highway, picking up strangers. We have a pick up spot in Corvallis, the Hilton Garden Inn, and Tualatin, the Rolling Hills Church. Both places are allowing us to park for free for the weekend. Travel in style, don't worry about the weather, be with friends and fellow wrestling fans! $70 per person Round trip for FALL members, $99 for non-club members.
We are planning a stop for lunch both ways, probably in Pendleton. Let me know if you would like a seat on the bus. Next week we will be considering the exact size of the bus, so make sure your seat is reserved! Questions?
Go Beavs!!
