Beavers off to Midlands
December 28, 2015 | Wrestling
Corvallis, Ore. – The Oregon State wrestling team concludes the calendar year this Tuesday and Wednesday at the Ken Kraft Midlands Championships at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill.
Competition begins at 7:30 a.m. PST on Tuesday; the second session is scheduled for 5 p.m. Competition resumes at 10 a.m. Wednesday; the first-, third- and fifth-place matches begin at 6 p.m. and will be televised live by the Big Ten Network.
The Beavers will take 14 or 15 competitors.
“It's our last tournament until the Pac-12s,” coach Jim Zalesky said. “If guys are looking to break into the lineup, it's a chance for them to show themselves.
“It's also a chance for our guys to knock off some one ranked guys and get ranked higher.”
The unranked Beavers (3-3) will resume their dual-meet schedule on Jan. 7 against Michigan in the Joe Wells Classic at Ann Arbor. The dual will honor the longtime Michigan assistant coach/OSU head coach, who died earlier this year.
