The Oregon State wrestling program will have a new head coach for their next season. The school has parted ways with his former coach.
Jim Zalesky will now seek employment elsewhere after being let go at the end of their wrestling season, according to the school. He had been at the school since April 2006.
“I want to thank Coach Jim Zalesky for his dedication to Oregon State University and his commitment to the young men in our wrestling program,” Beaver Vice President and Director of Athletics Scott Barnes said. “We wish him and his family the best in their future endeavors.”
