A community gathering will take place on February 25, 2026, to honor the Oakdale High wrestlers as they prepare for the State Meet. The event will be held at the Gene Bianchi Community Center on F Street, starting at 14:10 local time. This is an opportunity for residents to show their support for the athletes who have demonstrated dedication and resilience throughout their season.
Local organizer Shanna Springer expressed gratitude for the community’s involvement and the chance to celebrate the wrestlers’ achievements. “Let’s show them how proud we are of their hard work and amazing accomplishments,” Springer said. The Oakdale Mustangs have had a successful season, facing tough competition and coming away victorious in many matches.
Participants are encouraged to gather in the Oakdale Town Plaza area, where they can bring signs and banners to display their Mustang spirit.
