America’s next top role model: Tyra Banks talks diversity, resiliency during OSU keynote Z ach Hak e, Editor-in-chief, @ z ach_hak e

Tyra Banks’ first stop in Stillwater on Thursday wasn’t Eskimo Joes, Hideaway or the Atherton hotel.

Shortly after landing at the “cute little” Stillwater airport, Banks, a world-famous former supermodel-turned-businesswoman and television producer, found herself in a dilemma.

The shoes she packed were uncomfortable, and she planned on walking around on stage a lot that evening.

“Can you stop somewhere?,” Banks asked her driver. “What do you got? Do you have a Target?”

“He was like, ‘Girl, please.’ I was like, ‘Do you have a Payless?’ He said, ‘What the hell is that?’ And he took me to the Famous Footwear shop,” Banks said.

One new (much more comfortable) pair of shoes and fifteen yellow shirts from T.J. Maxx later, Banks said she was “ready to party.”

Banks delivered a speech on diversity and answered questions about body image, selfconfidence and advice for college students Thursday evening to a crowd of about 500 in Oklahoma State UniFRIDAY, APRIL 12, 2019

versity’s Gallagher-Iba Arena as part of the OSU Speakers Board series.

Banks began her speech with a flashback to her high school days.

Banks recalled the encounter that planted the seed for her modeling career. As a self-proclaimed “awkward and shy” freshman, Banks sat on a bench before one of her classmates approached her and asked whether she was a model.

“Am I a model?,” Banks said to the girl.

“Hell no, what are you talking about?”

“Over time, this girl became my best friend, and she taught me everything that I could know about modeling,” Banks said. “And I wasn’t even modeling yet. But then the 11th grade comes in, and I was like ‘Let me give this a try.’”

Banks’ mother, who worked as a medical photographer, took Banks’ first set of modeling pictures to send to different modeling agencies.

Throughout her conversations with the various modeling agencies, Banks said the lack of diversity was apparent.

“One agency said, ‘Oh, we already have too many black girls,’” Banks said. “And then I’d look at the board of

all the models, and out of 200, there’d be five black models. Then I went to another agency, and they said, ‘Oh, Tyra. We already have a black model.’ One black model. A sea of faces and only one of them was black.”

Six agencies later, Banks got her first ‘yes’.

Although she had quote-on-quote “made it,” Banks said she still faced obstacles and roadblocks.

“I was constantly hearing, ‘OK, you’re a model now, but you can’t do that ad. You can’t do that magazine. You’ll never be on the cover.

Stop dreaming,’” Banks said.

One day, virtually out of the blue, Banks said someone from a modeling agency in Paris had seen her photos, and decided she was the only model they wanted to take back to work with them.

Banks said she was at a crossroad: should she go to college and pursue an education, or should she go to Paris and chase her modeling dreams?

Banks went to Paris to give it a chance, and she had a one-year deferment from her college in case modeling didn’t work out. She said she likes to call her time in Paris her “Josephine Baker moment.”

“My own country

kept telling me, ‘No, you can’t do this because you’re black,’” Banks said. “But then I go to this foreign land, and just like Josephine Baker, I was embraced.

I booked 25 fashion shows that first season.

No model had ever done that before.”

Banks said she would love to give herself all the credit for her accomplishments, but for her, success is a lot of luck. “(Success) is that tenacity,” Banks said.

“It’s that preparation.

It’s that, ‘You tell me no,’ and that excites me.

That invigorates me even more. And I have two words for you: ‘Watch me.’”

As Banks reflected on her journey and her mission to inspire future generations and diversify the definition of beauty, she said her plan was to plant those seeds, just as her high school friend did for her.

“That was my plan,” Banks said. “To plant those seeds to show that diverse beauty and diversity should not be a fad... I want it to be so normal that it’s boring.

And that’s why I get up every single day.”

Hovland shoots even par on first day of Masters j o seph faz io, asst. sports editor, @ jo s ephd fa z io

While his teammates are gearing up for the Thunderbird Invitational, Oklahoma State men’s golfer Viktor Hovland competed at one of golf’s most prestigious tournament.

Hovland shot even par on his first day at the 2019 Masters tournament in Augusta, Georgia.

Alan Bratton, OSU’s men’s golf coach, served as Hovland’s caddie.

Former OSU golfers Alex Noren, Charles Howell III, Kevin Tway and Rickie Fowler were among the 87 golfers competing in the tournament. At the 2018 Masters tournament, Fowler finished second.

Hovland was paired with Webb Simpson and Patrick Reed, the reigning Masters champion.

On the front nine, Hovland had a decent

start but suffered bogeys on holes 3 and 7.

On the 16th hole, Hovland set up for a par-3, 170 yards from the hole.

After taking out his 8 iron, Hovland took a beautiful shot that landed about 20 feet from the hole. The ball proceeded to roll closer to the hole and was mere inches to the right from being a hole-inone.

Hovland tapped the shot in for his fourth birdie of the day.

On the last hole, Hovland needed a par to finish 1-under.

Unfortunately, Hovland shot his fourth bogey to settle for even.

Hovland finished with the best firstround score of the six amateurs competing at the tournament.

Brooks Keopka and Bryson DeChambeau lead the field at 6-under-par.

Hovland is tied for 29th at even with 16 other golfers.

Hovland’s second-

round tee time is set for 1:16 p.m. tomorrow.

Amateur scores after first round: T-29: Viktor Hovland, E T-44: Takumi Kanaya, +1 T-44: Alvaro Ortiz, +1 Seth Fish/O’Colly

T-44: Jovan Rebula, +1

Weigel battles back from injuries, leans on faith on way to 3rd at National Wrestling Tournament Wa d e Haug en Co py Chief, @wad e_hau gen

Dec. 11 was the end of Preston Weigel’s wrestling career.

That is what the Oklahoma State wrestling coaches thought. Weigel made his season debut Dec. 9 against Oklahoma when he defeated Ruston Duke by technical fall. Two days later, he tore his left quadricep in practice.

“Right when he tore his quad, we thought he was done,” Associate Head Coach Zack Esposito said. “We really thought he was done. We started shifting around our lineup to try and create something that was gonna give us the best chance at a trophy and competing at dual meets.”

Weigel’s torn quad was one in a long list of injuries he suffered while at OSU. Weigel said he tore his lateral collateral ligament three times in his right knee and once in his left knee. His sophomore year, Weigel said he wrestled the last day of the national tournament with a torn left labrum in his shoulder.

Despite the injury, he finished sixth and was an All-American. His junior year, Weigel tore the meniscus in his right knee in the first match FRIDAY, APRIL 12, 2019

of the national tournament, sidelining him for the rest of the event.

Esposito said sometime in mid-January, the training staff told the coaches Weigel might be able to return this season. To rehab his quad injury, Weigel did acupuncture treatments paired with stem cell therapy once a week.

Weigel said he felt healthy enough to compete during the week of practice before the Air Force dual on Feb. 8.

He defeated Anthony McLaughlin 2-0 and said he felt good.

However, the Tuesday after the Air Force dual, Weigel felt a pop in his quad.

“I was just like, you know what, I’m just going to have to wrestle through it,” Weigel said.

Weigel said his quad was uncomfortable at first, but kept getting better.

Coach John Smith said when Weigel tore his quad after Bedlam, the coaching staff thought his career was finished.

“I think when you know that maybe you’ve lost something, it gives you a new look at how much you really value what you’re doing,” Smith said. “Maybe Preston thought at one time that it was over…

Somewhere in there he realized, ‘I’m not ready

to be done.’

“I think he willed himself to health. I think his injury was serious enough it could’ve took three months to heal and mentally, I think he willed himself to health.

I believe that.”

Weigel returned from the quad injury and won his third Big 12 championship at 197 pounds.

He finished third at the national tournament, earning All-American honors for the second time. With the season over, Weigel has had time to reflect.

“Last night, I was just sitting there thinking about everything I’ve

been through,” Weigel said. “It’s just like wow, how I stuck it out. I could’ve easily gone the easy way out and given up. I loved the sport too much to quit. It’s hard to quit. It’s hard to quit anything. My dad raised me like that. He said you always gotta finish it out if you start something.”

When talking about Weigel, his coaches brought up two traits: toughness and resiliency. These traits can be traced to Weigel’s upbringing on his family farm in Russell, Kansas.

Joe Weigel, Preston’s father, said Weigel’s

OCOLLY.COM

upbringing taught him many life lessons.

“Growing up on a farm, you gotta learn how to take care of things so well,” Joe Weigel said. “Managing things, you gotta take care of animals. Can’t really let anything slide.

You have to try and do everything the best you can out there so everything will survive.

“It’s kinda the same thing in life, I guess.

Wrestling to me is one of the best sports because of the ups and downs. You can be winning 10-0 and in three seconds you’re put on your back and

it’s over. That’s life. It’s like a roller coaster. It’s a great sport for kids, I think. Some people might think it’s a little rough, but life can be rough.”

Weigel’s time at OSU got off to a rocky start.

He came to Stillwater and started training the summer after he graduated from high school.

Tammie Weigel, Weigel’s mother, said Weigel wasn’t sure whether he wanted to stick it out and was homesick. She said one time Weigel had a tough summer practice. After the practice, he packed his bags and headed home.

Honoring Vietnam Veterans Replica of the memorial wall set to visit OSU next week

THE WALL THAT HEALS WHAT: Vietnam Veterans Memorial replica WHEN: Noon, Thursday, April 18 through 3 p.m. April 21 WHERE: Intramural athletic fields west of the Colvin Center MORE INFO: vvmf.org

FRIDAY, APRIL 12, 2019

The Wall That Heals, a 375-foot-long replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C., and a mobile education center are coming to Oklahoma State University next week.

The Wall That Heals — which rises to an apex of 7.5 feet high at its center — will be available for viewing 24 hours a day from 12 a.m. Thursday, April 18, through 3 p.m. Easter Sunday on the intramural athletic fields west of the Colvin Center near West Hall of Fame Avenue and North Walnut Street in Stillwater.

Parking will be available nearby.

The public is welcome to visit anytime and encouraged to make rubbings of service members’ names.

The mobile education center educates people about the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the lasting impacts of the Vietnam War. “We are deeply honored to be hosting The Wall That Heals,” said Rick Hansen, a retired Marine Corps captain and coordinator of OSU’s Student Veteran Academic Services, which serves more than 600 student, faculty and staff veterans. “We invite everyone to come out and pay their respects to the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice.

An opening ceremony is planned for 10-11:30 a.m. Thursday and will include an address from President Burns Hargis.

A recognition ceremony for Vietnam veterans, Purple Heart recipients and gold star

“THIS PAGE PRODUCED AND PAID FOR BY OSU BRAND MANAGEMENT”

families (survivors of those killed in the line of military duty) is set for 2 p.m. next Saturday.

A non-denominational Easter sunrise service is planned for 8 a.m. next Sunday.

Echoing taps will be played to close the event at 2:50 that afternoon.

The Wall That Heals is being brought to OSU by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, a nonprofit that funded the construction of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington in 1982.

The memorial fund created The Wall That Heals so all veterans and their family members across the country have an opportunity to see it.

Stillwater is the eighth of 34 stops for the traveling exhibit in 2019, which honors the more

than 3 million Americans who served during the Vietnam War and bears the names of more than 58,000 men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam.

“The Wall That Heals mobile exhibit provides thousands of veterans and their family members the chance to visit The Wall and honor and remember those who have served and sacrificed,” said Jim Knotts, president and CEO of the memorial fund. “Hosting the exhibit gives veterans an opportunity for healing and provides an educational experience for the whole community on the impact of the Vietnam War on America.”

SP ORT S “I got a call from Coach Esposito at the time and he said, ‘I think Preston’s headed home,’” Tammie Weigel said. “He said, ‘Let him stay through the weekend and then send him back.’”

Before Preston made it home, Tammie Weigel got a call from Smith.

“I told him, ‘We’ll discuss things when Preston gets home and decide what he wants to do,” Tammy Weigel said.

“He said, ‘No, there’s no deciding. You give him that tough love and send him back to us.’”

Tammy Weigel said Smith told her he had seen this happen with men from the Midwest a lot because of tight bonds families from the Midwest typically have.

Tammy Weigel said the first summer Weigel was in Stillwater, he came home every weekend.

She said the goodbyes were difficult, but they got easier. She always told Weigel he would regret it if he didn’t stick it out.

Between being the recruiting coordinator for two years and training for international competition before that, Tyler Caldwell has been around for Weigel’s career. Caldwell is from Wichita. Although he and Weigel didn’t know each other before OSU, their bond grew throughout Weigel’s career.

“Kansas guys stick together I guess,” Caldwell said. “We’ve been real close throughout his career, good friends.

Oklahoma State’s Preston Weigel wrestles Iowa’s Jacob Warner during the Oklahoma State vs Iowa wrestling dual in Stillwater.

I’ve spent a lot of time with Preston. Really got to know him and his family. There’s a relationship there that will continue on past college and past wrestling.”

Caldwell said the type of person Weigel is can be attributed to his family and his upbringing.

Although he didn’t grow up on a farm, Caldwell said his grandpa had one and he would spend his weekends there.

“I always say my kids are definitely gonna be working the farm in the summer if they’ll

grow up like that kid,” Caldwell said.

Tammy Weigel said through all the trails Preston endured, one thing stayed strong: his faith. She said he continued to go to church and pray rather than getting down on himself about the trials he faced.

Faith is something Caldwell said Weigel never wavered on.

“Preston may not speak about it a lot but he’s very faithful,” Caldwell said.

“Through his injuries, he went back to prayer

a lot and just kinda had a belief that he had to get through this and that there’s a bigger plan.”

Esposito said everyone can learn something from Weigel’s wrestling career, including other wrestlers. He said the biggest thing he’ll remember about Weigel is his patience in times of adversity.

“I’m telling you, just from experience, injuries can really mess with the mind,” Esposito said.

“They can really mess with the mind.

“Just because you get

hurt it’s not the end. He always gave himself a chance.”

Weigel will graduate with a degree in agriculture business. He said he originally planned to go home and help on the farm but is keeping his options open and seeing what opportunities come along. He is getting married in September to his fiancé, Madysen Frantz.

It wasn’t always the smoothest ride, but now that his collegiate wrestling career is over, Weigel said he is thankful for his time at OSU.

“I wouldn’t trade it for anything,” Weigel said. “The people that I’ve met, all my friends, everybody here and all the buddies I’ve met and become friends with, all the good stories.

“It was fun. I enjoyed the heck out of it. I give all the glory to God for being able to perform the way I did.”
