In light of Oregon State’s 2018 national championship in baseball, we thought it was a good time to rank the top 10 moments in Beaver athletics history:
We thought it was appropriate to include something from Oregon State wrestling because of its historical excellence at Oregon State. Though he wasn’t a multiple NCAA champion like Les Gutches, Greg Strobel or Jess Lewis, no Beaver wrestler has ever had a season like Howard Harris’ tour de force in 1980.
Never close to an NCAA championships in three previous seasons, Harris became unstoppable as senior in the heavyweight class, rolling to a 46-0 record, 40 by pin.
