Two standouts from
previous glory days of the
Eastern Oregon wrestling
program will have one of
the top accolades in sports
placed next to their names
forever: Hall of Famers.
Craig Woodward and
Norm Berney will be in-
ducted into the National
Wrestling Hall of Fame in
a May 4 ceremony in Ti-
gard, according to a press
release from Hall of Fame
-
tary Bob Allen. Woodward
is being enshrined as an
Outstanding American,
and Berney is being recog-
nized for a lifetime of ser-
vice to the sport of wres-
tling.
“It’s really a nice thing to
get honored like that,” said
Berney, who is currently
the head track and cross
country coach at Corban

a Hall of Fame head wres-
tling coach from his days
leading Clackamas Com-
munity College. “This is
just the capping moment
for me to be honored in
the Oregon chapter of the
Hall of Fame.”
Berney was a solid wres-
tler during his time with
the Mountaineers in the
1960s, but he made his
name in coaching. He was

the year while at CCC and
was named the national
coach of the year in 1987.
last community college
in Oregon to sponsor
the sport, and he helped
drum up the support of
the wrestling communi-
ty to back keeping wres-
tling at CCC — including
Woodward.
He also played a key
role in saving what has
since become a power-
house program when
wrestling faced the po-
tential of being cut at
“The one thing I’m hon-
Clackamas in 1984. He ored (about) through this
said at the time it was the is (being able) to hang in
there with good support
from people like Craig and
(assistant coach) Larry
Owings,” he said. “Getting
the support of those guys
to keep the program going
is probably my (best) con-
tribution to wrestling.”
Wrestling, which has
endured cuts in programs
throughout the country,
is seeing a resurgence,
including in the North-
west. Berney is part of that
comeback: He helped save
CCC’s program, and he
most recently was instru-
mental in establishing a
new wrestling program at
Corban.
Berney feels it’s im-
portant to keep the sport
around because of what it
teaches those who com-
pete in it, and because
it’s a sport “everyone can
be involved in,” regard-
less of size — and, now,
regardless of gender, with
women’s wrestling gaining
popularity.
“(It) really teaches you
competitive skills, surviv-
al skills in the world that
have been lost,” he said.
“It prepared me for life.”
Woodward, of Prinev-
ille, whose contribution to
the sport has been in more
of a philanthropic and
supportive role, said he
was humbled by his nomi-
nation.
“I can’t put myself in
the same category as
other recipients — oth-
ers like Norm (who have
coached the sport),” he
said. “Those guys are in
the Hall of Fame (because)
they dedicated their whole
life to the sport.”
Woodward, who wres-
tled as a Mountie in the
1960s, played a part in the
movement to bring wres-
tling back to Eastern Or-
egon three years ago after
a 3-1/2 decade hiatus. He
was one of the main driv-
ers to raise the funds to
help get the program re-
started.
“The president (Tom In-
sko) was really supportive
