Oregon State will be hosting a USA Wrestling Making A Difference Tournament on Saturday, Nov. 26 at the Truax Center in Corvallis, Ore.

The tournament will feature brackets with 4-5 wrestlers in a blocked weight class grouped by experience. One added benefit is wrestlers who weigh-in on November 25 will receive admission to the Oregon State vs. Missouri dual that night.

Weigh-ins will also be held on Saturday morning, starting at 7 a.m. with wrestling starting at 10 a.m.

Making a Difference Tournaments focus on supporting college wrestling with all the money raised going directly to help support college level programs. The series allows athletes to wrestle as USA Wrestling members for the tournament without buying a membership card.

All proceeds from the tournament go directly to the wrestling program at Oregon State University.

Registration for the event is $15 and the registration ends on November 25. Athletes can register at www.trackwrestling.com/tw/registration/BasicPreReg1.jsp?tournamentGroupID=16178009.
