From Coach Roberts....
Wrestling fans-
Wanted to check in with an update of things in the wrestling world, especially here at Oregon State. The spring has been going well from a training standpoint. Our main focus has been in the weight room and getting stronger, as well as working with individual athletes on technical areas most specific to them. We have a nucleus that includes many returners from this past year, as well as a crop of newcomers that we are excited about. Recruiting is still going on, but we expect to have 8-10 new faces next fall. Many of the athletes will be arriving this summer and begin training here in Corvallis.
As you may know, Boise State took their coaching staff, team and the wrestling community by total surprise and announced that they would be dropping wrestling immediately. This obviously has an effect on The Pac 12 Conference and Oregon State, as we enjoyed a great rivalry with them for many years. Our hearts go out to all most impacted by the decision, as it leaves a lot of people in limbo and negatively impacts the opportunities to wrestle for many future young people. We also are dealing with the landscape it leaves for our conference, and what to do from that standpoint going forward. I can say that these things are being addressed. The coaches across the board would no doubt like to see more teams invited to join the conference. We will keep you updated on that situation as it unfolds.
The tentative schedule is for 2017-2018 is almost complete. We are trying to finish that up soon and look forward to some good competition slated for this coming year. We will let you know when it is released and season tickets are set. We will be attending a few prestigious tournaments and competing against some good teams in dual meets. We will be hosting The 2018 Pac 12 Championships at Oregon State! Make plans to be there!
We want to remind everyone and ask for their support in The Dale Thomas Golf Outing. We would really appreciate your support, as this is a big fundraising opportunity for us each and every year. This year, the event takes place on July 3rd (at Corvallis Country Club). I have attached information and we would love to see you there. We are looking for teams, individual golfers, corporate sponsors and auction items. The day includes lunch, 18 holes of golf, a cart, door prizes, dinner and an auction! Let us know if you have any questions.
I’ve also attached information for coaches on the 2017 Oregon State Wrestling Camps and Northwest Duals Team Comp! Again, let us know if you have any questions. We value the opportunity to help the youth and high school wrestlers and it also helps us to keep our athletes around training in the summer. We have lots of variety and options available for wrestlers to learn and get better this summer. Information can be found at www.oregonstatewrestlingcamp.com.
We are looking forward to seeing many of our alumni next weekend at the annual IOC outing. They have been a tremendous support group over the years and continue to be one of the best alumni support groups in the country.
Until next time,
Oregon State Coaching Staff
