CORVALLIS, Ore.”\u201c<\/strong>,\u00a0When the Oregon State wrestling team takes to the mats to begin the 2012-13 campaign, it will do so with a number in front of its name.

Last season, OSU garnered pre-season rankings of No.’s 18 and 22 to begin the season, but the top-10 slot it was awarded heading into this year is the highest pre-season accolade the team has received in the,\u00a0Jim Zalesky<\/a>,\u00a0era.<\/p>\n

Just ahead of the ‘Beavs in D1’s pre-season poll is Ohio State at No. 5, Illinois at No. 6, Missouri who is No. 7 and Cornell at No. 8. Rounding out the Top-10 is Virginia Tech as Penn State grabs the top spot, followed by Minnesota (No. 2), Iowa (No. 3) and Oklahoma State at No. 4.<\/p>\n

Oregon State enters the 2012 season with a total of seven wrestlers also ranked in D1’s individual season poll. Those student-athletes are as follows:,\u00a0Pat Rollins<\/a>,\u00a0(No. 17\/125 lbs),\u00a0Mike Mangrum<\/a>,\u00a0(No. 3\/141 lbs.),\u00a0Scott Sakaguchi<\/a>,\u00a0(No. 7\/149 lbs.),\u00a0RJ Pena<\/a>,\u00a0(No. 11\/157 lbs.),\u00a0Ty Vinson<\/a>,\u00a0(No. 18\/164 lbs.),\u00a0Taylor Meeks<\/a>,\u00a0(No. 12\/197 lbs.) and,\u00a0Chad Hanke<\/a>,\u00a0(No. 8\/285 lbs.).<\/p>\n
