  • Oklahoma City (Motel rooms & bus trip) and Operation West Gym

    NCAA Wrestling Tournament in Oklahoma City March 20-22, 2014:

    I want to remind people to start thinking of their plans for next year in Oklahoma City. Rooms are going fast, so if interested you may want to contact Bill Roths (Panther Wrestling Club Board Member) fairly soon. Reservations for rooms at the Best Western Saddleback Inn in Oklahoma City through the PWC are $132.00 per night for two beds and $112.00 for a single room. You can contact Bill by email [email protected] or phone 319-240-9411.

    Jon Moeller (Panther Wrestling Club Board Member) has also made plans for a bus to make the trip to Oklahoma City. The bus is scheduled to leave Cedar Falls on Wednesday March 19th and return on Sunday March 23. The cost for the bus is $200.00 per seat with a maximum of 56 passengers. The bus will shuttle spectators from the Best Western Saddleback Inn to the arena and back each session. To make reservations for the bus contact Jon Moeller at 515-238-4014 or [email protected].


    Important Announcements:

    There were a couple of big news items out of Des Moines a couple of weeks ago besides UNI finishing in a tie for 15th. Athletic Director, Troy Dannen, had two announcements at the Friday UNI social.

    1. Coach Schwab has a new five year contract.

    2. We have a lead gift of $100,000 for remodeling the locker room facilities (this is the second $100,000 plus gift we have received for improving the wrestling facilities in the West Gym - the wrestling room has already been completed and looks great). The total locker room project is to cost in the neighborhood of $400,000, but with this gift Troy said he hopes that we can break ground on the project this fall. As reported a few months ago, Hal Turner, former UNI wrestler, has developed a plan called Operation West Gym to raise money for the remodeling of our wrestling facilities. Hal was asked to hold off on his plan until a lead donor was secured. Now that we have that lead gift Hal is putting the final touches on Operation West Gym. Hal’s Operation West Gym is being set up by decades: 50's ,60's, 70's, 80's, 90,'s and 2000's. Each decade will have one or more groups. You will be hearing more of this in the next few months. See the attachments for more complete details.
