Happy August everyone, just checking in, while we are out on the road, hitting living rooms across the country, these first couple weeks of August. It has been an eventful summer, as all the boys have been in Blacksburg from the last week of June through the end of last week! We had 4 terrific Robie Wrestling Camps, where we had close to 500 total kids join us on campus, learning from our guys and staff. Our 6 incoming freshman settled into their dorm rooms, and our 3 incoming transfers locked into our routines and got to know their new teammates and new roommates. So a lot going on, and now with the boys back home enjoying the last couple weeks of Summer, Robie and myself are out in the Midwest, and will meet up with Coach Tanelli and Haught later this week back in NJ and PA respectively. After catching up on a couple pages of posts below, I will try and hit a couple of topics: -First "Golf Outing, Sept 12 (Friday before ODU game) will post link below. (Hole Sponsors, Golfers, Lunch and Beverage sponsors, and Raffle Items will be much appreciated) -Boys have had an awesome 5-6 weeks of training, most of everyone's projected lineups look pretty on point. Will definitely be some interesting battles at some weight classes, and our freshman are looking as good as advertised if not better. -This is the most talent rich, high wrestling IQ, hard working group of guys, we have had in Blacksburg. -The SERTC continues to allow us to have some pretty amazing training opportunities... Chamizo in for a couple days, JO in for a week, and most likely being here more frequently is pretty awesome. Caleb getting the opportunity to be in Japan for 10 days, and hopefully starting a great relationship with VT and the Japanese in some form of exchange program, that will allow us to get more guys to Japan in the future and vice versa. -Schedule should be released in the next week. (OSU will be here on a Sunday in Febuary) While on the road I will try and answer a couple more questions, but thought I would stop in and say "hey!" Thanks again for all you guys do for our program, we appreciate you all so much. Go Hokies!
