WRESTLING IS
BACK @ HALE !
Wrestling at
Nathan Hale is back!
Chris VanLandingham,
Class of '81, is Hale's new head wrestling coach. Tulsa
Public Schools has purchased new wrestling and throwing mats for the
school this year.
The team has about
30 wrestlers, many of them wrestling for the first time, though
a few have several years experience.
The new
wrestling room is located on the 1st floor, near the East
entrance. It will be named in honor of 1964 alumnus, RAY
MURPHY.
Ray was the State Wrestling
Champion at Hale and an All-American at OSU before an
injury occurred in 1971 during a national freestyle
championship, which left him a quadriplegic.

more about Ray's inspiring life.
Hale's athletic operating
budget is very limited this year, so they still need numerous
items to get the new program off the ground - including
UNIFORMS.
If you are a former Hale wrestler
or athlete,
please consider making a donation to help them purchase uniforms
and other necessities for the team.
Also, if anyone is interested
in coaching for an elementary/middle school wrestling program
several nights a week, using Hale's new wrestling room, please
contact Head Coach, Chris
VanLandingham.
