Coach Beaschler has high hopes for his 30th season team

Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, November 10, 2017

The Ohio Northern wrestling team enters the 2017-18 season with high hopes under 30th-year head coach Ron Beaschler.

The Polar Bears return 12 lettermen and eight starters from last year's squad that posted an 11-4 dual meet record, went 4-2 in the Ohio Athletic Conference and was 11th of 16 teams at the NCAA III Midwest Regionals.

ONU has posted ten consecutive winning seasons and has finished with more wins than losses in 45 of the program's 52-year history.

With high levels of talent and experience returning on the roster, combined with a solid incoming freshmen class, it is easy to see why optimism abounds in the ONU wrestling camp.

Zimmerman, ONU associate professor of chemistry, has long studied the ability of fluorescent compounds to serve as chemical sensors. He continued to see practical applications to his research, particularly in regards to current events.
